In the decades following the globalization of the world economy, trafficking, forced labor and modern slavery have emerged as significant global problems.

Article
Subcontracting — the practice of using intermediaries to contract workers, whether through temp agencies, manpower agencies, franchise, or other multilayered contracting — is an increasingly popular pattern of employment worldwide. Whether justified from a business perspective or not, subcontracting has dire implications for workers’ rights: it ins...

This Article examines what form the public/private distinction takes in contemporary legal consciousness.

Chapter
Paid domestic and care-related work in the household — the provision of in-home household services such as cleaning and taking care of dependent children, disabled family members, or the elderly — has long been an unregulated form of labour in most countries. Domestic workers, mostly women, often migrants and from racial or ethnic minorities, have...
Article
The article scrutinizes the feasibility of trade unionism for migrant care workers. Based on a case study of one such attempt that took place in Israel, the article distinguishes between a trade union – in which workers represent their interests and negotiate with an employer to better their working conditions – and other associations in civil soci...
Article
In the early 1990s, Israel opened its gates to migrant guest workers who were invited to work, on a temporary basis, in the agriculture, construction, and in-home care sectors. The in-home care sector developed quickly during those years due to the introduction of migrant workers coupled with the creation of a new welfare state benefit: a longterm...
Article
This article seeks to describe the piecemeal process of creation of what may, arguably, be a new immigration regime in Israel. In order to do so, we focus on three distinct waves of non-Jewish entry to Israel. The first is the day-labor entry of Palestinian workers from the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) since 1967; the second is the entry...
Article
Although human trafficking has gained unprecedented national and international attention and condemnation over the past decade, the legal instruments developed to combat this phenomenon have thus far proved insufficient. In particular, current efforts help an alarmingly small number of individuals out of the multitudes currently understood as falli...

Article
This article maps the precarious and unintended consequences that may emerge from the exceptional treatment of domestic work as “work like no other,” through an examination of the controversy over overtime pay for live-in care workers in Israel. While the case law from the Israeli labour courts provides a continuum of solutions to the question of o...
Article
This article offers a framework to analyze the role of immigration law in shaping familial care provisions and markets of care. The framework builds on distributive models of the welfare state, and extends beyond the family-state dyad to include the market as a sphere in which the family is meaningfully regulated. The framework is then applied to t...
