| contents | What about the numbers?: a quantitative contribution to the study of domestic services in Europe Manuel Abrantes How many domestic workers are there in Europe? How have their numbers evolved? Do the patterns differ across countries? Examining European Union Labour Force Survey data for the EU15 over the period 2000–10, the author finds that the numbers of domestic workers grew in this period, particularly those caring for children and frail adults. His analysis confirms the coexistence of two contrasting models that broadly divide Europe between northern countries relying mainly on public services and southern countries relying on private solutions. Considering the explanatory capacity of public policy, labour market dynamics and gender relations, however, he argues for a more nuanced approach to understanding cross-country patterns. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2014.00202.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2014.00202.x publication.journalArticle |
