How does this affect gender inequality according to the text? What, if anything, is new about this trend?
What will be an ideal response?
but they should include a discussion about the fact that rather than improving gender equity, this arrangement tends to reinforce traditional gender roles and exploit immigrant women. Migrant domestic workers have been around for centuries, so this is not a new development. Class-privileged women have exploited the work of women in lower classes for some time, but the flow of reproductive labor has increased with globalization and the growth of the global economy. The increase in demand is new.
