In this case home-based work refers to production of goods by workers from in or around their own home. There are two types of home-based workers: sub-contracted workers working for a contractor, shop or factory and self-employed home-based workers. Although home-based workers form and have formed a large and important group in the labour market, their work often remains un-recognized by official statistics and understudied in different fields of academia such as history, sociology and economics.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this conference is to provide an international platform to further knowledge on home-based workers, both self employed and sub-contracted, in a global perspective from the 19th century until today. Researchers and activists from all disciplines, working on home-based workers in both contemporary and historical contexts are welcome to submit proposals.<\/p>\n<p>The conference is organized by the Swedish Labour movement Archive and Library in cooperation with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cwds.ac.in\/\">Centre for Women\u2019s Development Studies in Delhi <\/a>and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wiego.org\/\">WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing) Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The conference is funded through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rj.se\/\">Riksbankens Jubileumsfond<\/a> (the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences).<\/p>\n<p>We have invited abstracts for papers (or other forms of presentations) discussing home-based work under the following broad themes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visibility and statistics<\/li>\n<li>Legal rights and protection<\/li>\n<li>Organization and voice<\/li>\n<li>Negotiations and policy leverage<\/li>\n<li>Sectoral profiles and trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Organising committee<\/h4>\n<p>Jane Barrett (Wiego), Indrani Mazumdar (CWDS), Silke Neunsinger (Swedish Labour Movement&#8217;s Archives and Library) &amp; Malin Nilsson (Swedish Labour Movement&#8217;s Archives and Library &amp; University of Lund).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arbark.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/program-conference-home-based-work.pdf\">Program (pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE STOCKHOLM MAY 22-24, 2018 Today, home-based workers form an integral part of global and local production chains, and make up a significant part of the workforce.
