在这篇文章中，我们考察了推动男性化家务劳动外包的过程，包括家务和花园的维护和维修，以及将其转移给移民男性；我们认为这一趋势是更广泛的护理跨国化的一部分，这一趋势在女权主义学术中得到了强调。这篇文章参考了在英国和德国进行的两项研究，重点分析了购买“男性”家政服务的家庭的需求。我们发现，家庭使用勤杂工是为了缓解父亲的时间限制，这植根于三个过程。第一，关于儿童、养育子女和为人父的规范的“欧洲化”；第二，两国工作时间制度的自由化和灵活性；第三，福利制度中的路径依赖，这些制度历来以男性养家糊口的模式为基础。根据我们在英国和德国的研究结果，我们通过思考是否以及为什么我们可以预期男性家政服务的商品化在其他欧洲国家得到体现，从而得出本文的结论。
In this article we examine the processes driving the outsourcing of masculinized forms of domestic work, involving household and garden maintenance and repair, and its displacement to migrant men; a trend which we conceive as part of the broader transnationalization of care that has been highlighted in feminist scholarship. The article draws on two studies conducted in the United Kingdom and Germany, and focuses on the demand on the part of households buying in “male” domestic services. We find that households use handymen in order to alleviate a father time-bind, which is rooted in three processes. Firstly, a “Europeanization” in norms around childhood, parenting and fathering; secondly, a liberalization and flexibilization of working time regimes in both countries; and thirdly, path dependency in welfare regimes based historically on a male breadwinner model. On the basis of our findings in the United Kingdom and Germany, we conclude the paper by reflecting on whether and why we might expect the commoditization of male domestic services to be manifest in other European countries.
