"I voted in favour of this report which calls for legislative instruments to recognise the employment and social rights of domestic workers and carers, who are very often undeclared and therefore lack job stability, paid leave and have very limited or non-existent employment rights.
According to the International Labour Organization, 85% of domestic workers and carers are women and this report aims to ensure that there are no more second-class, low-paid, undeclared female workers in the EU.
Furthermore, in Ireland migrant women are particularly vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers. A report last summer by the Fundamental Rights Agency indicated that working in domestic households was identified as the major area for severe labour exploitation in Ireland. It is very disconcerting that young, migrant women working as au pairs in Ireland are still vulnerable to exploitation as there is no official recognition of au pairs in Ireland.
This report is an important step forward in recognising and protecting the rights of domestic workers and carers and I therefore voted in favour of it."@en1
