Les ouvrières à domicile en France de la fin du XIXe siècle à la Seconde Guerre mondiale : Genèse et application de la loi de 1915 sur le salaire minimum dans l'industrie du vêtement

摘要

At the end the nineteenth century when the worker's condition began to improve in the West, the situation of women sweatshop workers, exploited to exhaustion for starvation wages, shocked people with a social conscience ( Social Christians, feminists, Freemasons...). After the failure of cooperative efforts against the tide of mass production, the use of the legislature seemed the only solution. Passed in 1915, revised in 1928, 1941, and 1957, the law did not, however, deliver the expected results. This study attempts to demonstrate, figures in hand, the powerlessness of the law to reduce wage discrimination based on gender. However, it has helped to slightly improve the income of women working from home and stimulated a movement of fertile ideas like minimum living wage and a Joint Negociating salaries by industry. Its effects are still felt in the current legislation of home working.
