La construction sociale du « secteur » des services à la personne: une banalisation programmée ?

Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: For several decades, family and home help jobs have been considered in terms of their potential as a "source of employment". Supported by the Plan for the Development of Personal Services, public measures have been largelly strengthened since 2005, marking both continuity and a break with past policies. The breaks are the result of a threefold strategy of market extension of the social sphere, of homogenization of the "service" product, but also of the "banalization" of needs and of the act of consuming these services. Combining social and employment issues, these policies lead to a dispersed reaction on the part of the historical actors in the field, and on the part of the employees at the "end of the chain" on whom the main contradictions of this systemic policy rest.
