Parrenas response

Parrenas essay builds with several of the previous isssues we have talked about in class , discussing reproductive labor, statification by sex and racial divisions of labor. Parrenas builds on this by taking the situation outside of the United States and brings it to internation globalization with upcoming countries requiring the need for reproductive labor. Parrenas main example is the use of Filipina domestic workers migrating for domestic work . With only the privalidged being able to leave there country and actually hiring Filipina domestic workers in their own country to take care of the family that they had just left. I thought the idea of the privialadged Filipinas leaving there own country to become domestic workers very puzzleing and if they were so privalidged and eduacated why leave at all, but just stay at home and remain in the higher classes in their own country
