Inhaltsangabe

This book focuses on migrants employed in sectors of the economy that are typically regarded as marginal or precarious - domestic and care work in private settings, cleaning work in hospitals, call centre labour, the selling of sex - to understand the aspirations and mobilities of migrants in relation to questions of gender and labour.
