Los trabajos de este libro permitirán al lector hacerse con una visión comparada de la relación que la inmigración, el funcionamiento de los mercados de trabajo y el servicio doméstico han establecido entre sí en el seno de diferentes ciudades europeas en el curso de los siglos XVIII, XIX y XX. La novedad de los mismos no solo se aprecia en los resultados que ofrecen, sino también en los métodos que buena parte de ellos emplean. El recurso a la información de las bases nominativas permite estudiar desde un punto de vista original cuestiones tales como las redes de paisanaje, los efectos de la movilidad social y laboral del servicio doméstico, la diferente plasmación de los proyectos migratorios de las mujeres o la relevancia que en ciertos casos tuvo la población flotante. Ce livre offre un regard original et novateur sur l'immigration urbaine, le fonctionnement du marché du travail et le service domestique. Les différentes études proposent au lecteur aussi bien un bilan panoramique de la question à l’échelle européenne que des visions au niveau national. Dans l’approche des différentes thématiques concernées, se lit en outre le souci d’étudier des villes aux profils variés, tant par leurs tailles que par leurs fonctions, leurs caractères ou leurs localisations géographiques.

This is the first book to survey the experience of servants in rural Europe from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. Live-in servants were a distinctive element of early modern society. They were typically young adults aged between 16 and 24 who lived and worked in other people's households before marriage. Servants tended to be employed for long periods, several months to years at a time, and were paid with food and lodging as well as cash wages. Both women and men worked as servants in large numbers. Unlike domestic servants in towns and wealthy households, rural servants typically worked on farms and were an important element of the agricultural workforce. Historians have viewed service as a distinct life-cycle stage between childhood and marriage. It brought both freedom and servility for young people. It allowed them to leave home and earn a living before marriage, whilst learning a range of agricultural and craft skills which reduced their dependence on their parents and increased their choice in marriage partners. Still, servants had limited rights: they were under the authority of their employer, with a similar legal status to children. In many countries the employment of servants was tightly controlled by law. Servants could demand their wages, and leave when the contract ended, but had to work long hours and had little say in their work tasks during employment. While some servants effectively became family members, trusted and cared for, others were abused physically and sexually by their employers
