| Abstract: | In today’s globalized world, characterised by international competitiveness, labour outsourcing, workforce volatility and the weakening of the trade unionism movement, matters related to the precariousness of work have become more prevalent in political and social discourse. Both public administrations and private enterprises worldwide are shunning their legal and moral obligations towards permanent workers by replacing their jobs with definite contracts and temporary work. Poor conditions of work might be even more audacious for domestic workers who perform their duties in private households. [excerpt] |
