Schedules and gossips: How to define the rules of an au pair employment?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork amongst Slovak au pairs living and working in London in 2004/2005, this presentation focuses on ways how au pairs generate knowledge about au pair institution and fairness of their working and living conditions. Though the conditions of au pairs? employment are vaguely defined by international law and immigration rules, host families and au pairs usually are not familiar with their details. Furthermore, the actual working and living conditions of au pairs? arecontrolled neither by immigration policy, nor by commercial agencies mediating contacts between the au pairs and host families. Consequently, the au pairs and host families have often different expectations and particular conditions and relationships depend on individuals. Given the asymmetry in power between the au pairs and host families, au pairs are commonly exploited and have little control over their duties, working and living conditions.
