Plačano gospodinjsko delo v Sloveniji
Paid household work in Slovenia

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of paid household in Slovenia and the role of this type of work in the reconciliation of work and family life. The author finds that it is difficult to estimate the scope of household services and the trend of paid household work because of the unregulated nature of employment conditions of domestic workers and due to a shortage of statistical and public opinion data on this social issue. The main goal of the article is to shed light on some socio-economic factors and changes in the post/transition period in Slovenia which may explain the presence of paid household work and its future trends. The available qualitative and quantitative data reveal that the majority of those who consumer cleaning and other domestic services come from households that feature more educated women.
