Özet

Toplumsal cinsiyet bakımından evde çalışma büyük ölçüde kadınçalışması haline gelmiş olan, kadınların genellikle ücretsiz aile çalışanıstatüsünde bulunduğu, işbölümünün toplumsal cinsiyete dayandığı veyaşam alanının kadınlar tarafından ekonomik faaliyet alanınadönüştürüldüğü bir çalışma biçimi olarak tanımlanabilir. Evdeçalışma, kadın emeğine ulaşmak isteyen işverenler tarafındantoplumsal cinsiyet normlarının aşılmasını sağlayan ideal bir çalışmabiçimi olarak değerlendirilmekte, aile içi dayanışmanın, din, etnik vekast aidiyetinin sağladığı üstünlüklerden yararlanılması ve yasalarınaşılarak enformel alana erişilmesinde bir yöntem olarakkullanılmaktadır. Evde çalışma kadınların “kadın işleri” olaraktanımlanan işlerde, çalışma koşulları üzerinde kontrolü olmaksızınçalıştırılması, toplumsal yaşamdan dışlanması ve toplumsal cinsiyetedayalı eşitsizliğin yeniden üretilmesi ile sonuçlanmaktadır
