| Resumo |
Paid reproductive work, especially in the case of cleaning and home-care for elderly people, is an important sector for foreign women in Italy. For this reason, since the beginning of the current economic crisis, scholars have wondered about the impact of the recession on migrant domestic workers. They have looked particularly at possible competition with Italian women entering the sector for lack of better alternatives. Our paper takes this discussion a step further by assessing the overall changes affecting migrant women in the Italian labour market, 2007-2012. We will look at how their position has been transformed, by taking both an ethnic perspective, in relation to Italian women, and a gender perspective, in relation to migrant men. By way of a conclusion, the argument will be made that there is a substantial lack of competition between Italian and foreign women in the care and domestic sector due to differences in their earnings, hours of work and activities. El trabajo reproductivo remunerado, especialmente por lo que hace a la limpieza y a los cuidados en el hogar de las personas mayores, constituye un sector importante para las mujeres extranjeras en Italia. Por esta razón, desde el comienzo de la actual crisis económica, los investigadores se han preguntado por el impacto de la recesión en las trabajadoras domésticas migrantes. Se han interesado, sobre todo, por la posible competencia con las mujeres italianas que se incorporan a este sector debido a la carencia de alternativas más atractivas. Nuestro artículo va un paso más allá de este debate evaluando el conjunto de los cambios que han afectado a las mujeres en el mercado de trabajo italiano desde 2007 a 2012. Analizamos cómo se ha transformado su posición, adoptando tanto una perspectiva étnica, en relación con las mujeres italianas, como una perspectiva de género, por lo que se refiere a los varones migrantes. A modo de conclusión, se plantea que no se constata una competencia relevante entre las mujeres italianas y extranjeras en el sector doméstico y de cuidados, debido a las diferencias existentes en las ganancias, las horas trabajadas y las actividades laborales desempeñadas. |
