ABSTRACT:This article is about precariousness of work and shifting gender roles among Filipina home-based workers, who labor from or nearby their homes either as industrial homeworkers working for an employer, or as own-account laborers—sometimes referred to as the self-employed. It demonstrates how gender and the globalization of production are formed, negotiated, and challenged by people through their localized ideas and practices. Focusing on the persons who have mobilized through Patamaba and Homenet Southeast Asia, I examine the relation between work and life, or workplace and home, which for a long time has involved a spatial division of gender roles that increasingly have been called into question. At the center of the analysis are the shrinking national labor market and growing spatial mobility of women due to their mobilization for the rights of the home-based workers. Because of this changing socio-economic environment, people's experiences of labor are much more complex than the binary gender discourses, as they constantly alternate between home and work, and reproduction and production, as well as the private and political. Finally, I suggest that the growing precarization of life must be approached from a gender viewpoint, which often has been bypassed in the scholarly debate.

“早上不给老公泡咖啡”：菲律宾居家工作者的性别与不稳定生活

摘要：这篇文章是关于菲律宾家庭工人的工作不稳定和性别角色的转变，他们在家中或附近工作，要么是为雇主工作的工业家庭工人，要么是自营工人——有时也被称为自营工人。受雇。它展示了人们如何通过本地化的思想和实践来形成、协商和挑战性别和生产全球化。以通过 Patamaba 和 Homenet 东南亚动员起来的人为中心，我考察了工作与生活或工作场所与家庭之间的关系，长期以来，这涉及性别角色的空间划分，而这一划分越来越受到质疑。分析的核心是缩小的全国劳动力市场和由于妇女为家庭工人的权利而动员起来而增加的空间流动性。由于这种不断变化的社会经济环境，人们对劳动的体验远比二元性别话语复杂得多，他们不断地在家庭与工作、再生产与生产、私人与政治之间交替。最后，我建议必须从性别观点来看待日益不稳定的生活，而这在学术辩论中经常被绕过。以及私人和政治。最后，我建议必须从性别观点来看待日益不稳定的生活，而这在学术辩论中经常被绕过。以及私人和政治。最后，我建议必须从性别观点来看待日益不稳定的生活，而这在学术辩论中经常被绕过。
