“…Recognized as being one of trickiest aspects of pedagogy, these skills mark the boundary between professionalism and simple parenthood. The proximity of home-based childcare providers' work to their family activities explains the denial of the work their job entails, since domestic labor is a paradigmatic figure of invisible labor [17]. This further fuels parents' attitude ignoring the advice of their children's caregivers, who they consider unqualified and lacking an authoritative voice concerning childhood.…”

Early Childhood Care in France: Impediments to the Professionalization of a Little-Institutionalized Feminine Occupation

In the early-childhood care sector, the occupation of home-based childcare providers is especially subject to the familialist paradigm that assigns women from modest backgrounds with little formal education to this almost exclusively feminine line of work. This study focuses more specifically on homebased childcare providers working in rural and suburban areas, spaces that are marked by isolation and a lack of interlocutors. There are many limitations to the occupation's professionalization model (Aballéa, 2005; Alberola, 2009). After providing an overview of the institutional norm of nursery school as it contrasts with the informal situation of home-based childcare, analysis shifts to three obstacles to expressing demand for training that are indices of low professionalization: the place and space of work, little social and familial arrangements, and work skills. Finally, in counterpoint, the article explores the role of the employment contract with parents in formalizing a feminine occupation that is still seen as a customary familial service (Dupraz, 2008).

“…In this sense, invisibilisation involves the denial of work , that is, rendering types of work as non-work (Burchielli and Delaney, 2016; Krinsky and Simonet, 2012), and in turn placing them away from the regulatory gaze. The literature on invisibilisation refers to precarious and devalorised work, where workers have little or no power or collective identity (Krinsky and Simonet, 2012). This may include modes of work such as casual or voluntary (Krinsky, 2012), and types of work, such as caring and domestic work (Krinsky and Simonet, 2012).…”

“…Precarious work – that which departs from the normative model of the standard employment relationship, and is poorly paid, uncertain, unpredictable and risky – has been on the rise since the 1970s, and has emerged as a core concern of researchers (Kalleberg, 2009; Quinlan, 2012). The literature on both invisibilisation and precariousness link the changes in standard work to structural and institutional arrangements arising from neoliberal globalisation (Kalleberg, 2009; Krinsky and Simonet, 2012).…”

“…Vosko adds a new dimension to this research by examining how concepts of national citizenship intertwine with the gender dimension to exclude migrant women from the standard employment relationship (Vosko, 2010). In a similar vein, invisibilisation literature acknowledges that while the process of invisibilisation affects many workers, it is disproportionately related to gender, class, and race (Delaney, 2017; Krinsky and Simonet, 2012).…”

Labour markets in Australia have long been segmented by gender and race. This study compares two highly gendered and racially segmented labour markets, home-based family day care workers and garment homeworkers. The comparative cases examine the broader trends of migration, production and consumption that reinforce gender and racial stereotypes, and discourses that underpin representations that women workers are ideally suited to such work. We theorise the gender and racialised inequalities of homework based on the literature on invisibilisation and social reproduction to explore the vulnerable position of migrant women and the consequences of having limited options, such as legal and social protections and any capacity to collectively organise. Our analysis examines the roles and responses of institutions and conceptualises the socio-political factors that affect the characterisation of homework as non-work or as self-employed entrepreneurial activities. By mapping the differing regulatory trajectories of these two groups of homeworkers in terms of regulation and representation, we find both similarities and differences. While garment homeworkers have achieved recognition through legislation and social mobilisation, their circumstances leave them less likely to access such rights. By contrast, the failure to recognise family day care homeworkers, has left them to market forces. JEL code: J01
