Au pair in England

Den engelske middelklasse har fået et dårligt ry, hvis man skal tro på en rapport, som for nylig er blevet offentliggjort. En organisation, som hedder International Youth Welfare, og London University har lavet rapporten sammen, af materiale, som er indsamlet fra spørgeskemaer, udsendt til ca. 1500 au pair piger i forskellige dele af England. Tre fjerdedele af skemaerne blev returneret, og viste nogle ubehagelige facts om hvordan unge piger, der kommer til England for at lære sproget, bliver behandlet.
Der er ofte stor forskel mellem det, de unge piger får at vide inden de rejser, og den måde de bliver behandlet på af deres værtsfamilier i England. Et stort antal siger, at de kun tjener £9 om ugen, at de arbejder ca. 50 timer om ugen, og en masse af dem spiser ikke med familien og får ikke mad nok.
Formanden for International Youth Welfare, Dom Placid som er munk, kom selv til England til 20 år siden og bor der stadig. Han, såvel som andre i organisationen, mener, at det er vigtigt, at situationen for au pair pigerne bliver kendt, så at de dårlige forhold kan blive forbedret. Organisationen har derfor foreslået, at der laves et hæfte til alle au pair piger, der kommer til England, og til værtsfamilierne. Det kunne måske give de engelske middelklassefamilier et bedre rygte i andre europæiske lande.

The English middleclass have got a bad reputation, if one is to believe on a report, which was recently released. A organisation, named International Youth Welfare, and London University have made the report together out of material gathered from questionnaires send out to about 1500 au pair girls in different parts of England. Three fourths of the blanks was returned, and showed some unpleasant facts concerning how the young girls, who comes to England to learn the language, are treated.
There is often a huge difference between what the young girls are told before they depart, and the way they are treated by their host families in England. A large number says that they only makes nine pounds a week, and they work about 50 hours a week, and a lot of them don’t eat with the family and don’t get enough food.
The chairman for the International Youth Welfare, Dom Placid, who is a monk, came to England for 20 years ago and is still living there. He as well as the others in the organisation, thinks that it’s important that the situation for the au pair girls becomes familiar, so that the bad conditions can be improved. The organisation have therefore suggested that there is made a booklet to all the au pair girls that comes to England and to the host families. It could perhaps give the English middleclass families a better reputation in other European countries.
