Summary/Abstract: "In recent years – since the early 1990s – a significant number of immigrant women have entered Greece coming from the Balkans and the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe. Their presence cannot pass unnoticed; they are mostly domestic workers engaged in taking care of the elderly and children. These immigrant women constitute an important part of the economic and family life of many Greek men and women."
