“…This applies to street children, belonging to the category used by UNICEF 'children in especially difficult circumstances' (Black 1996), who are excluded in the DHS sample, because this survey is drawn on households' base. In the same category, despite recent efforts to estimate their prevalence 6 , working children remain underdeclared in surveys, in particular domestic children who are well known as prevalent in Africa (Delaunay and Enel 2009;Destremau and Lautier 2002;Jacquemin 2002). Second, if some children are in any situation of abandonment outside family, a large part of the others live with their kin and familial solidarity allows them (more or less) to confront crisis situations.…”

“…Child transfers are also sometimes motivated by economic reasons. For several decades, schooling access is a cause for entrusting a child to the care of an urban family in exchange of some domestic work (Jacquemin 2002;Jonckers 1997;Vandermeersch 2002). …”

“…Como atestiguan las investigaciones realizadas en el Perú (Young, 1987), en Brasil (Lautier, 2002), en Canadá (Bakan, Stasiulis, 1997) o en Costa de Marfil (Jacquemin, 2002), este discurso aparece como un hecho transnacional, quizás en la misma medida que la asignación del trabajo de reproducción no remunerado a mujeres y a niñas. El rol mayor del familismo en lo que concierne el trabajo doméstico remunerado, ha hecho correr ríos de tinta, pero la mayor parte de estos estudios se han centrado en el familismo en el interior de los hogares de los empleadores.…”

P a la b ra s c la v e Familismo Empleadas domésticas Colombia Líbano Justicia Cuidado Resumen Partiendo de investigaciones de tipo etnográfico, realizadas con trabajadoras domésticas en Colombia y en el Líbano, esta contribución destaca la necesidad de repensar un paradigma frecuente en las investigaciones sobre el trabajo doméstico. Esta consiste en suponer como mutuamente excluyentes las expectativas "privadas" de buen trato, o de care, que, por una parte, las trabajadoras esperan de los y las empleadoras, y de otro lado, las luchas políticas de éstas en favor de la justicia social. Las vidas de las trabajadores domésticas muestran las relaciones de dominación que atraviesan la familia como institución política naturalizada. De este modo, el lenguaje de las relaciones familiares y/o afectivas llama también a una lectura política que evitaría excluir "lo que cuenta" para las trabajadoras. The present article is based on two ethnographic researches with women engaged in paid domestic work in the cities of Bogotá and Beirut. Many of the workers' accounts outline the political and subjective complexity of family as a social institution that is more or less naturalized. We inquire into the references to family, or rather what we term the "language of family" that often characterizes the relations of employers and domestic workers. From this perspective, familism, as a set of discourses and practices involved in the exploitation of domestic workers, is not only a facade to cover up the violence of these social relations. In turn, an analysis of familism sheds the light on family as a site of domination, also fostering negotiations or tactics of resistance. At the same time, the value given to the "language of family" also tells a truth about family as "what matters": its importance draws from an ethics of family, founded on ideals of care, solidarity and inclusiveness.Younes, M., Molinier, P., 2016, "'El lenguaje de la familia': ¿ideología patriarcal, falsa conciencia o ética del cuidado?

In the last three decades, the development of the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector has been increasing in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), bringing more and more urban families into this flourishing business sector, and among them, children. This article aims to look at the often unconceivable, and as a result neglected, social agency of children even when they are involved in activities which are, in the international legislation on children's rights, categorized as one of the worst forms of child labour. To do so, it relies on the results of a socio-anthropological collective research project on children's mining activities which was carried out in a small locality called La Ruashi in the city of Lubumbashi (Province of Katanga). The article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these child mining-related activities by looking at different spheres of social relations within which children are embedded. Examining the set of social relations that children have with their families, the broader community and their 'peers', several 'family portraits' are offered, highlighting a heterogeneity of social interpretations regarding this form of child work. It is shown that for families from a middle-class background, this kind of work is often socially disruptive, at the forefront of intergenerational conflict. As for families from lower classes, social changes induced by children's mining activities are often better incorporated into the family habitus. Common dynamics, encountered in all families irrespective of class belonging, is also portrayed.
