’In this innovative and wide-ranging collection Triandafyllidou and Marchetti have produced an invaluable contribution to current debates about reproductive labour. By putting employers and the employment relationship centre stage in the discussion of paid domestic work, this collection raises crucial questions about class, gender and the contemporary organisation of care work.’ Rosie Cox, Birkbeck, University of London, UK ’Employers, Agencies and Immigration provides us with a long overdue analysis of the employers in the domestic and care labour market. Relying on essays that span from Italy to Belgium, from Austria to the Czech Republic, the book explores who these employers are, how they negotiate the complexities of purchasing care in the marketplace, and how they shape these relationships of labour. The book increases our understanding of the complex interactions involving welfare states, families and domestic/care workers. Unmissable.’ Francesca Degiuli, Fairleigh Dickinson University, USA
