Summary/Abstract: Review of the book Clément Carbonnier − Nathalie Morel: Le retour des domestiques. Paris: Seuil, 2018, ISBN-10: 2021399044, ISBN-13: 978- 2021399042 The review considers a book by French authors devoted to the social and economic context of the development of domestic services in French households. Jan Keller presents a number of critical findings: domestic services exacerbate inequalities between women and comprise precarious work with greatly reduced circumstances in terms of employment protection and occupational safety. He further asserts that tax support provided in France to households that can afford to employ servants exacerbates social inequalities.
