我揭示了温哥华大都市中导致儿童保育持续贬值的一系列复杂做法。其中包括妇女独自负责支付儿童保育费用的假设、父母难以确定技能和教育资格与高质量儿童保育的关系以及将儿童保育工作者插入各种家庭场景以降低其自身社会再生产成本的倾向。我仔细观察了远郊，因为这里的儿童保育工资最低，而且父母在安排可靠的照顾方面最困难。尽管从事有偿家务工作的不同妇女的定位不同，但她们都受到有关家务工作的性别假设的影响。
I unravel a complex weave of practices in metropolitan Vancouver that lead to the persistent devaluation of childcare. These include the assumptions that women alone are responsible for paying for childcare, the difficulty that parents have determining how skills and educational qualifications relate to high-quality childcare and the tendency to insert childcare workers into various familial scenarios that cheapen the costs of their own social reproduction. I look closely at outer suburbs, because this is where wages for childcare are lowest and parents experience the most difficulty in arranging dependable care. Although various women doing paid domestic work are positioned differently, they share with each other the effects of gendered assumptions about domestic work.
