"[The book] makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature by examining how national and EU-level migration and labour laws produce the conditions in which migrant domestic workers are exploited . [The book is] highly engaging and informative." --Manoj Dias-Abey, Industrial Law Journal " Migrant Domestic Workers in Europe is an insightful contribution to the literature, which effectively utilises a comparative methodology to illustrate the law's exacerbation of vulnerability. Its exhortation to push towards a more inclusionary reading of EU law should be taken up as part of a toolkit to bring migrant domestic workers within the comprehensive regimes of protection that they, like all workers, deserve." --Natalie Sedacca, Modern Law Review "This book is a wake-up call for all who take the European value of human dignity seriously . As a community built on human rights and rule of law, 'the European way of life' for migrant workers is unenviable - one of neglect, rightlessness, abusive working conditions, insecure residence status etc. The EU legal framework presented in Pavlou's book is part of the problem. Her endeavours show it should be part of a solution.

" --Tesseltje de Lange, Common Market Law Review " Migrant Domestic Workers in Europe exemplifies the benefits of rigorous comparative and multiscalar socio-legal analysis for understanding how law can both constitute and transform structures of vulnerability. It will inspire researchers and activists to continue to find ways to achieve decent work for migrant domestic workers." -- Judy Fudge, Professor in Global Labour Studies, McMaster University, Canada "Through meticulous, detailed and smart comparative legal analysis, Vera Pavlou shows us the range of regime options states have - both in migration and labour law - and exposes the very rich policy toolbox available to policy makers and activists in this area." -- Hila Shamir, Professor of Law at Tel-Aviv University, Israel.
