The COVID-19 pandemic has made the personnel of this sector of activity one of the most affected, in particular due to the damaging consequences it has had for migrant workers, both those who have declared their benefit before the public authorities, as well as the migrants who work in the informal sector, and within these, those who are in an irregular situation. In this study, proposals are launched to make effective with respect to migrant domestic service workers the principle of Decent Work, included as a Sustainable Development Goal in the United Nations 2030 Agenda, as well as measures that would improve their working conditions in this field.
