Sosiaalisen uusintamisen inhimilliset kustannukset
Politiikan ja kansainvälisten suhteiden professori Shirin M. Rain tuore teos Depletion: The Human Costs of Caring jatkaa hänen pitkäjänteistä työtään feministisen poliittisen talouden tutkimuksen parissa. Kirjan tarkastelun virittää tutkimusalalla usein osoitettu ristiriita: vaikka ilman hoivaa ja elämää ylläpitävää työtä yhteiskunnat ja taloudet pysähtyisivät, tämä työ on taloudessa rakenteellisesti aliarvostettua ja usein näkymätöntä. Näkymättö…
Freedom and unfreedom in au pairing
How does affectivity align with the practice and experience of unfree labour? Recent studies have examined unfree labour as a political economic problem; however, the scholarship has largely overlooked the involvement of affect and social obligations in labour unfreedom, inadvertently constructing an imaginary of an insentient labouring body. I apply the case of au pairing to consider the affective dimensions of unfree labour embedded in the orga…
The Legal Formation of Class in Migrant Care and Domestic Work
This article analyses the relationship between law and class formation through the case of migrant care and domestic work, and puts sociological class theory into conversation with critical migration research. It contributes to class theory by analysing how law helps produce class relations in the Finnish context. The Finnish state channels migrants into cleaning and domestic work through policy measures, and migration law ties them to the reprod…
Revisiting the Second Shift – Rethinking Value in the Outsourcing of Social Reproduction
This article examines the link between outsourcing social reproduction and the valuation of time by approaching the employers of domestic workers as workers who themselves labour to produce surplus value. It contributes to current research on outsourcing social reproduction, which emphasizes the (re)privatization of public services, by situating outsourcing within the sphere of production. The analysis is based on in-depth qualitative research on…
Vuosi, jolloin kaikki muuttui ja kaikki pysyi ennallaan
Local loops of care in the metropolitan region of Helsinki
Finland subsidizes caring for young children at home by several cash-for-care schemes. In 2001, it adopted a tax credit for domestic services, including care. This article adopts an everyday perspective to social policies to analyse how Finnish cash-for-care policies produce local care loops using a time-economy approach. It examines the increase in private services alongside public ones through an analysis of the organization of childcare in tim…
