Our latest data show progress in reducing informality among domestic workers but 4 in 5 still work informally, often without effective labour and social protection.
I urge all Member States to ratify and implement @ILO Convention 189 to advance decent work for domestic workers.
More than four in five domestic workers worldwide still work informally, often without effective labour & social protection.
Accelerating formalization & extending effective protection must progress together.
