Cet article présente une analyse de la qualité de l’emploi des femmes de chambre dans divers pays d’Europe sous le double aspect des contraintes patronales de gestion de main-d’œuvre, et de la construction des trajectoires professionnelles des salariées. Vulnérables, peu qualifiées et peu valorisées, souvent d’origine étrangère, la plupart des femmes de chambre sont aisément fidélisées du fait de leur faible employabilité sur le marché du travail. En réalité, elles se trouvent reléguées dans une spirale qui lie flexibilité, rémunération médiocre, précarité plurielle, renforcée par les pratiques de dépendance des hôteliers. This article addresses the issue of job quality for housekeepers in …

Abating inequalities? : Job quality at the intersection of class and gender in Finland 1977–2013
2016
Globalization with its many side-effects on working life is seen to pose accentuated risks especially for women and low skilled workers – resulting in increasing polarization of job quality. In contrast to “universal theories”, institutional theories claim changes in work life might vary according to the institutional and cultural frameworks which mediate the global pressures of change. This study analyses job quality trends in Finland at the intersection of class and gender. The results, based on the Finnish Quality of Work Life survey (1977–2013), find no clear evidence of polarization. In line with the institutional theory’s prediction of a low risk of polarization in coordinated and in…
