Abstract

The article deals with a new social reality, widespread in post-Soviet Russia: hired domestic labor, and therefore forming a new social-professional stratum of people in society – domestic workers. It is shown that hired domestic employment is dominated by women; a significant proportion of domestic workers are migrants, and hired domestic work is more common in large cities with a high proportion of solvent population. It is noted that domestic work is characterized by informal employment and household labor practices, including employment with undocumented labor relations (without a hire contract). Hired domestic work in private households is the most invisible and poorly protected employment from a socio-legal point of view.
