Document Summary
Not all social reproducion work should be covered by labour law. But stretching the boundaries allows a criical perspecive on relaionship between women"s work and the scope of labour law provokes us to consider why certain forms of subordinaion and segregaion are acceptable and other forms are not. On the contrary, there is good reason to believe that this may provide great insights into the central issue of the subject. The case for seeking agreement on and enforcement of core labour standards remains as compelling as ever. If labour law could be jusiied on the basis of fundamental rights possessing great weight, its foundaions would be much more secure. Aricle concludes that the case for inclusion of labour rights as universal human rights is weak.
