Item type:Publication, Vulnerable Women in a Pandemic: Paid Domestic Workers and COVID-19 in Peru(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-01)Paid domestic workers (PDWs) in Peru, who are predominantly women, are one of the most vulnerable labour sectors in the country. We argue that an important factor explaining this is linked to national legislation that grants only partial rights to the sector, thus maintaining inferior labour conditions for such workers. Here we share our analysis of a survey of 314 PDWs, conducted between April and May 2020, confirming that PDWs in Peru are highly unprotected, particularly during the COVID pandemic, in which there has been a lack of comprehensive social protection schemes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, From dead letter to functional policy? Domestic workers' rights and “disformality” in Peru(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-09-01)This article examines the extent to which Peru's Law No. 31047/2020, which grants paid domestic workers full legal rights and social protection, has improved workers' access to contracts and rights. We analyse data from Peru's National Household Survey and present insights from interviews with five employers and a focus group of 11 workers. These complement statistical findings regarding the law's implementation, challenges and policy suggestions. We find that workers' rights have largely not been upheld owing to both the State's poor enforcement of the legislation and employer non-compliance, a situation enabled by Peru's socio-economic “disformality”.
