The Trade in Domestic Helpers: Causes, Mechanisms and Consequences

---

This book analyzes the cross-border recruitment and placement of domestic workers, focusing on the structural causes, operational mechanisms, and social consequences of the trade. It examines how global labor demand, gendered divisions of care work, economic inequality, and restrictive migration regimes contribute to the growth of transnational domestic labor markets. The study also details the role of recruitment agencies, fee structures, debt arrangements, and regulatory gaps that often expose workers to exploitation and dependency. By assessing the economic, legal, and social impacts on workers and their families, the book offers critical insights into policy reforms and protective frameworks aimed at safeguarding the rights and dignity of migrant domestic helpers.
