In The Second Edition Of Servants Of Globalization Migration

In the Second Edition of Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work, Rhacel Parreà ±as examines all of the challenging aspects of the lives of migrant Filipino domestic workers. Throughout the interviews that are included in this novel, the author was able to analyze different cases filled with personal struggle and familial support using the perspectives of many determined women across the diaspora, mainly focusing on those to travel to work in Western Countries. In this paper, I will briefly summarize the first three chapters, bringing to light the most important aspects the Parreà ±as included. I will then discuss the methodology used in her convincing global ethnography, before I include both the advantages and disadvantages to†¦show more content†¦I will expand later on this paper about the arenas of constraint that the author wrote about for migrant workers in the conclusion of the first chapter, as it is a topic that needs to be unpacked greatly. The second chapter discussed the international division of reproductive labour and the reasons why women may choose to become migrant workers. Often times the common answer of why these Filipina women made the decision to enter the reproductive labour force is one based on both economic and gender inequality reasoning. Gender is now seen as the hidden cause of migration, where women are taking on the role of the income provider and it is a strategy that can â€Å"relieve women of their unequal division of labour with men in the family.† (Parreà ±as, 2015 – pg. 32) Through the three tier system there is honestly no gender-egalitarian way that the division occurs, because their own responsibilities are given to those who are less privileged for less benefits. Parreà ±as introduces the dynamic of postmodern familial struggles that inevitably come with being a migrant worker. She introduces briefly the 3 types of transitional families, where members of said family are located in two different locations. (Parreà ±as, 2015) When one parent is abroad, the father is normally left behind to care for the children and household but those tasks are often taken up by other femaleShow MoreRelatedWhy Unemployment is Such an Important Issue?4436 Words   |  18 Pagessufficiently skilled workers seeking employment and demand in the labor market, for example a result of the dynamics of the labour market, such as agricultural workers being displaced by mechanized agriculture (mechanical planters ).
