In this episode of Mobility, Work, and Rights, Ilse van Liempt and I bring together three of the world’s leading scholars of domestic work – Rhacel Parreñas (Princeton University), Bridget Anderson (University of Bristol) and Sabrina Marchetti (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) – to unpack how migration and labour regimes shape the everyday lives of the workers who keep households running across Europe and beyond. They explore why ordinary families become employers, how global care chains redistribute inequality, and what new research from the I-CLAIM project reveals about the irregularisation of migrant domestic work today.

It was such an exciting and insightful episode to work on and really complement the other episodes we have published to date.
