The labor regulation of staff at the service of the family home at the international level (with a note on Spanish regulations)

Abstract

The author of this study considers that June 16, 2011 should be considered as a historical date, in which, after a thousand misfortunes, the International Labor Organization approved an international agreement by which domestic workers were equal in rights and duties to the rest of the workers. Its beneficiaries, depending on what we understand by domestic worker, comprise a large sector of the world's population: between 53 and 100 million people. At last, domestic workers will be able to have something as basic as a written employment contract.
