A European Perspective on a Global Theme
Herausgeber: Lutz, Helma

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this volume, European and US-based researchers look at the connection between migration and domestic work on an empirical and theoretical level. The book asks why the re-introduction of domestic workers in European households has become so popular, thus challenging gender theories. This is a timely book of interest to academics and students in the fields of migration, gender and European studies.

Household Management; Chapter 6. While speaking of international migration
I do not consider migrations between different national areas of the same
state (for instance between Hungary and Austria within the Habsburg
monarchy). Conversely, I do include among inter-continental migrations
those to the colonies. The main hypothesis of this Chapter - that until
about the mid-nineteenth century the more common pattern of international
and inter-continental servant migration was from richer to poorer
countries, while thereafter the direction of the flows was increasingly
from poorer to richer ones - is based on the analysis of large amounts of
quantitative data, which I could not present in this Chapter due to the
audience the book is addressing and lack of space., Raffaella Sarti;
