Abstract

The employment of domestic workers, especially women, is widely discussed in the foreign literature. However, little is known about employment of female domestic workers in Russia. The paper looks at the specifics of the recruitment of the female domestic workers and their main areas of employment in the context of their origin (local workers, internal migrants, foreign migrants). The empirical basis of the study is data of a household survey conducted in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. We found that local and migrant female domestic workers occupy different employment niches with migrants being more likely to be hired by low income households. The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the supply of foreign workers, and the cost of their labor has increased. © 2022 Ivanovo State University Publishing. All rights reserved.

莫斯科和圣彼得堡的女性家政工人

在国外文献中，对家庭佣工，特别是妇女的就业问题进行了广泛的讨论。然而，人们对俄罗斯女性家政工人的就业情况知之甚少。该文件着眼于征聘女性家政工人的具体情况以及她们的主要就业领域(当地工人、国内移徙者、外国移徙者)。本研究的实证基础是在莫斯科和圣彼得堡进行的住户调查数据。我们发现，本地和外来女性家政工人占据不同的就业利基，外来务工人员更有可能被低收入家庭雇用。新冠肺炎疫情导致外国劳动力供应减少，劳动力成本上升。©2022 Ivanovo州立大学出版社。版权所有。
