The right to training and to professional qualification in domestic work

Abstract

That the issue of domestic work is lately in fashion is by no means casual. There are multiple variables that have influenced this, but it is easy to understand that with the massive incorporation of women into the labor market it has been necessary to redistribute tasks and intrafamily care among the members of each family unit or to “outsource” them and go to the provision of services by outsiders. In this general context, it is important to review the role that professional training and qualification has in the dignity, valorization and, therefore, visibility of this work, of this sector and of a group of vulnerable workers as few. And, to carry out this work, it has decided to structure this contribution trying to answer three specific questions: Why is the sector an emerging sector of domestic employment? Is there a labor right to vocational training? What training is available, why is it not given importance and who does not?
