| description | Among transnational migrants, the number of Filipino nannies are increasing in. In this gendered migration pattern, the Filipino nannies have started to come to Turkey independently in the 1990s, however they tended towards using intermediary agencies after the late 2000s. This study focuses on the role of these intermediary agencies in bringing Filipino nannies to Turkey and how the Filipino nannies are represented by these agencies. Thus, I aim to comprehend the new structure of labor market and the situation of Filipino nannies in this market. In this regard, in-depth interviews have been conducted with the owners of the companies which aid Filipino nannies to find jobs in Turkey and the internet websites that offer similar services have been examined. Based upon the gathered evidence, it is revealed that the demand for Filipino nannies is not only existent in Istanbul but it has also spread to other parts of Turkey; that this phenomenon resulted in an increase in the number of intermediary agencies in a short period of time and that the reason behind it is that hiring a Filipino nanny has become a status symbol for the families as well as a service requirement. The companies also shape the social outlook of Filipino nannies according to market demand. This generally means reinforcement of the social gender roles by the market itself and a direct intervention to women’s construction of social self. Additionally, there is an expansion of the transnational networks of companies in Turkey and an increase in the number of women employers as well as the employment of women migrants. |
