DUBERT, Isidro. Composition, Wages and Social Promotion in Rural Domestic Service of inland Galicia, 1700-1825. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.39, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

We will study characteristics, composition, wages and social promotion of rural domestic service. For this, we will use the servants who worked in the households of the secular clergy of inland Galicia. In this area were located their main labour markets, since in 1752 between 8-10 % of the total population of inland Galicia was employed in this trade. On this basis, we will approach to work environment of rural domestic service, social consideration of the servants, their internal hierarchy and their relative capacity to take and leave jobs, their degree of geographical mobility or the possibilities that this trade offered to women for their social promotion
