Abstract

Abstract This article focuses on paid domestic work in Brazil, highlighting its diverse configurations through both the prism of academic literature and national household survey data. The first section reviews the academic debate, noting that domestic and care services were previously treated as distinct fields. Recently, however, scholars have increasingly merged them into the broader category of paid care work, encountering novel analytical dilemmas. The second section shifts focus to recent labor market changes, which have not only prompted a change in theoretical frameworks but also provided insights into the creation and blurring of occupational boundaries, thereby illuminating the identity dilemmas faced by workers within these evolving sectors.
