本文考察了欧洲、西半球、非洲、澳大利亚、印度和日本从现代早期到现在的家政服务，揭示了性别劳动力、移民和种族战略的广泛趋势，而这些趋势往往被地方和国家的方法所忽视。它发现了职业的女性化，并试图在现代性的特定方面找到对此的解释。它表明，在几乎所有接受调查的地方，移民在该行业中占主导地位。它认为，至少对于国际移民来说，从事家政服务反映了经济环境和民族文化偏好的结合，在某些方面类似于民族利基的形成。
This article examines domestic service in Europe, the Western Hemisphere, Africa, Australia, India and Japan from early modernity to the present to reveal broad trends in gendered labour, migration and ethnic strategies that are often missed by local and national approaches. It detects a feminisation of the occupation and attempts to find an explanation for this in particular aspects of modernity. It shows that migrants predominated in the sector in almost all of the places examined. It argues that, at least for international migrants, working in domestic service reflected a combination of economic circumstances and ethnocultural preferences that is akin, in some respects, to the formation of ethnic niches.
