Migrant Domestic Workers: Disadvantaged Work, Social Support, and Collective Strategies in East Asia
2020
Fong, Eric | Yeoh, Brenda S. A.
The movement of migrant domestic workers constitutes an important aspect of migration flows in Asia. We identify and outline three major research gaps in this area: (1) their unique working environment and the consequences of working under these conditions, (2) formal and informal sources of support, and (3) policies implemented by local government in response to the working environment of migrant domestic workers. We discuss how the articles in this special issue address these major gaps in migration research.
