Organising Domestic Workers: For Decent Work and the ILO Convention No. 189

By on December 01, 2012

Abstract
Domestic work is the largest sector of female employment world-wide, yet it is extremely undervalued and unprotected by labour law. Exasperating this situation, the estimated one hundred million domestic workers world-wide have until recently hardly been organised as workers. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how domestic workers, despite these condi-tions, have never the less organised successfully during the past decade. The study is con-ducted as a literature review, a quantitative methodological approach.
