Promoting Decent Work for Domestic Workers: Lessons From Five Countries

By on August 12, 2018

This resource document aims to highlight the experiences of domestic workers in their struggles for decent work within five distinct national regulatory regimes (Ghana, India, Peru, South Africa, and Thailand), with the aim of identifying lessons for strategic advocacy in this area. Drawing on research and project reports from the five countries, it
identifies the challenges that domestic workers face and the changes they want to see in their working lives. It considers the challenges that frustrate their realization of decent work. These challenges include socio-economic factors, shortcomings of the law and challenges in the implementation of legislation, among others. This document further analyzes the advocacy strategies that the partners adopted in the five countries, with a view to drawing out lessons learned for domestic worker organizations and their allies.
