Policy Gaps and Theory Gaps: Women And Migrant Domestic Labor
用女性主义交叉性视角分析接收国在移民、劳动和家庭政策中的政策缺口，指出性别、种族、阶级和国籍不平等如何相互强化并最终损害所有人，同时批判主流人力资本理论对移民的解释，提出改进的女性主义理论路径。
Abstract This contribution brings a feminist intersectionalities approach to bear on the so-called policy gap – when governments act in ways that undermine their own stated goals – with respect especially to immigration, but also to labor and family policy. Analyzing the increasingly large worldwide flows of women to do paid domestic work, the authors argue that policy gaps in receiving countries both feed on and are fed by inequalities of gender, race, class, and nationality, in ways that appear to pit some groups of women against others, but that ultimately disadvantage everyone. This study provides a feminist critique of the mainstream human capital theory explanation of migration, identifies several gaps within current feminist theory, and proposes some improved approaches.
