Commoditization of Migrant Domestic Workers

The book "Commoditization of Migrant Domestic Workers" offers a comprehensive analysis of the situation of migrants working as domestic workers, particularly in the context of Indonesian labor in Malaysia. It highlights the complex interactions between human rights issues and the political and economic frameworks that influence migration. Through a combination of theoretical approaches and empirical data, including interviews with relevant stakeholders, it provides an in-depth understanding of the challenges and protections for migrants in domestic work. The author, Restaria F. Hutabarat, employs various social science perspectives to analyze feminized migration and the new international division of labor. The findings and recommendations of the book are especially valuable for scholars and activists advocating for the rights of migrants and seeking a critical engagement with human rights issues.
