The Council of Ministers on Tuesday approved the recognition of unemployment benefits for domestic workers, correcting “a fundamental right and discrimination”, said the Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, during the subsequent press conference at the meeting of the Council of Ministers.
“95% of domestic workers are women. It is a feminized part of the job, old age, and 9 out of 10 are ages that make it difficult to perform their duties,” explains the minister. Likewise, he has assured that “44% of them are foreigners and the predominant nationalities are Colombia, Romania and Honduras”. “54% of these workers do it part-time and in a precarious way,” he added.
It is a norm that fulfills two fundamental requirements: it is a feminist norm that cares, embraces and cares for the workers and the households that employ them. It is a transversal, inclusive and feminist and social norm par excellence.
In addition, this regulation adopts a system of premiums on contributions to limit costs for those who employ these workers and in this way they get full employment protection that makes them equal with the rest.
This standard “starts on its own and makes reality” at the request of the International Labor Organization (ILO) after unanimously ratifying in June the organization’s agreement 189 that requires the recognition of unemployment for this group.
In this way, the government of Spain recognizes the rights and dignity of work of these workers who are “dedicated to taking care of our homes and who, in an abnormal way, did not enjoy the same rights as the rest of the workers”, according to Isabel Rodríguez. , spokesman for the government of Spain and Minister of Territorial Policy.
