Document Summary
Lecture 42: social policy part 3 domestic workers. Domestic workers overregulated while their working conditions are underregulated: primarily women coming to canada to engage in childcare or eldercare, policies put in place do a disservice to these women. Also do a disservice to the children: overregulated. Conditions under which they can come here, stay here, work here etc: underregulated. No assurance that they are working in non-coercive, safe enviros. Context under which they come to canada is all about financial coercion. Lack of citizen status and need to fulfill the two year live in requirement means these workers have little voice or ability to change their conditions. A crisis in the domestic sphere : a feminist critique. Increasing number of women are in the labour force. Employers don"t accommodate our lives right now: domestic work is invisible working conditions are so bad that canadians are unwilling to do this work.
