    El servicio doméstico figura entre los mercados de trabajo secundarios que han cobrado vigencia en el contexto de la globalización. Su dinamismo se relaciona con la demanda de fuerza de trabajo femenina barata para satisfacer necesidades de atención en la esfera de la reproducción doméstica. La caracterización del mercado de trabajo del servicio doméstico en Estados Unidos a principios del siglo XXI con base en datos de encuesta muestra que -ahora como antaño- su crecimiento descansa principalmente en la afluencia de fuerza de trabajo inmigrante, que en nuestros días es principalmente latinoamericana. El nivel de pobreza que acusan y su baja escolaridad, corroboran que el crecimiento de este mercado de trabajo en las sociedades desarrolladas es una más de las secuelas regresivas del mundo del trabajo en el contexto de la globalización.

    Domestic service is one of the secondary labor markets that have grown in the context of globalization. Its dynamism is linked to the demand for cheap female labor to satisfy needs within the sphere of domestic reproduction. The characterization of the U.S. domestic service labor market in the early 21st century on the basis of survey data shows that (now as in the past) its growth is based mainly on the influx of immigrant labor, nowadays mainly from Latin America. Domestic workers' poverty levels, coupled with their low educational achievement, merely corroborate the fact that the growth of this labor market in developed societies is yet another of the regressive consequences observed in the world of work within the context of globalization.
