Aid and the Help: Development and the Transnational Extraction of Care

In this episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, IDS Research Fellow Deepta Chopra, interviews author Dinah Hannaford whose latest book: Aid and the Help: International Development and the Transnational Extraction of Care looks at this issue of domestic workers and their relationships with development agencies.

The podcast examines how domestic labour is cheaply hired by aid workers posted overseas – this opens the opportunity to assess the multiple ways that the "giving" industry of development can be an extractive industry as well.

This discussion provides a unique angle to examining the paid care work that domestic workers do, and highlights how this paid care work is devalued, even by aid workers who work in development organisations – and how this is linked to the devaluation of ‘care’ as work.
