Discusses the Canadian migrant domestic/live-in caregiver program in the global context of domestic worker migration, & addresses barriers to the protection of domestic workers' rights. The Canadian system is described as among the best in the world, but it shares with other such programs an inherent asymmetry in citizenship statuses & rights of employers & workers & the expectation that workers will live in the home of employers. Barriers to the enforcement of existing regulations to protect migrant domestic workers include the shared jurisdiction over foreign domestics of Canadian & foreign governments. A review of sender & receiver countries' policies indicates that there is often a large discrepancy in existing statutes. Activists have fought to secure migrant domestic workers' rights by creating placement agencies in both sender & receiver countries & linking their campaigns to global efforts to address the issues of unemployment & migration. 45 References.
