Abstract: [eng] Aurélie Varrel — Itineraries of domestic labour in India : the girls from Erayiur.. India has a large but complex domestic labour sector. Little housemaids, adolescents of rural origin employed as servants by the urban middle classes, constitute a particular category, which is nonetheless at the centre of recent mutations. The spatial and professional itineraries of the young girls are supposed to be socially established ; but, in fact, they show diversified and complex patterns, related to their insertion in an economic whole, thereby transforming the archaic image generally associated to domestic employment.
