Description
In this article, the authors comparatively analyze and synthesize some of the recent academic literature that examines new flexible employment arrangements emerging in the rapidly expanding service sector economy, such as employers' use of flexible labour, and its exploitative impact on women. The centrality of women's labour in the restructured workplace and the racialized-gender stratifying effects of paid work, demands that our conceptions and definitions of work, and flexible work in particular, be critically re-examined, if current labour processes are to be understood and the persistence of complex hierarchies and gender divisions challenged. Dans cet article, les auteures entreprennent une analyse comparative ainsi qu'une synthese de textes universitaires recents examinant les nouveaux arrangements d'emploi flexible issus du secteur de service, tels que l'utilisation par l'employeur du travail flexible, et l'exploitation des femmes qui en resulte. La centralite du travail des femmes dans un milieu de travail restructure et la stratification selon la race et le sexe qui resulte du travail remunere exige que nous posions un oil critique sur nos conceptions et definitions du travail, et en particulier, du travail flexible, si nous comptons mieux comprendre les procedes de travail et remettre en question la persistance d'hierarchies complexes et les divisions selon le sexe.
