HOUSEKEEPER - BABY SITTER A calm, polite, and hardworking girl is sought from the surrounding area for childcare and household tasks, speaking Greek or English. The job is with a specified daily schedule or with live-in accommodation. References are required.
Advertisements like the above reflect one of the most characteristic forms of work and employment in modern society. However, our knowledge regarding the processes that push and trap workers into the same or similar personal services is limited. Even more limited is our understanding of the nature of these jobs and the collective action of the people employed in them.
The studies in this volume analyze the processes that shape a modern workforce in personal services and lead to the servitude of those who work in them. The relationships that contribute to the 'selection' of the work, the forms of employment, the division of tasks, the control of work, and the methods of its reproduction are examined. It is, one might say, a scientific journey in search of those parameters that compose personal services and the culture of servitude.
