ABSTRACT
This chapter is the exception of the employer's family and household from Swedish labour legislation. It pre-understands starting the investigation was that these exceptions would be theoretically interesting from a feminist point of view, but that they would have little quantitative importance. This chapter reflects on exceptions of the employer's family and home from labour legislation using a feminist approach to the limits of law. It opinions a feminist approach to legal issues has certain specific features, some of which clearly relate to the constructed limits of law. This applies both to the methods used and issues raised. The provisions of the Swedish Employment Protection Act said to give the same protection against arbitrariness in dismissal to female as to male workers. Historically, nearly all protective labour legislation in Sweden has excluded the family and the household of the employer. In early period of Swedish industrialization, most production was carried out within agriculture and within the family household.
