Making domestic work visible: the case for specific regulation

Adelle. Blackett

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Focuses on legislative measures that are tailored to the specific employment situation of domestic workers to assess how the law is contextualized to the domestic employment relationship. Consists of two parts. The first part, a discussion of international labour standards and observations of ILO supervisory bodies, provides an overview of the internationally recognized rights and protections to which domestic workers should be entitled. The second part examines the initiatives of France, Spain and Zimbabwe to regulate domestic workers' conditions of employment in a comprehensive way.
