Paid domestic workers (PDWs) in Peru, who are predominantly women, are one of the most vulnerable labour sectors in the country. We argue that an important factor explaining this is linked to national legislation that grants only partial rights to the sector, thus maintaining inferior labour conditions for such workers. Here we share our analysis of a survey of 314 PDWs, conducted between April and May 2020, confirming that PDWs in Peru are highly unprotected, particularly during the COVID pandemic, in which there has been a lack of comprehensive social protection schemes.

大流行中的弱势妇女：秘鲁的带薪家政工人和COVID-19

秘鲁的带薪家政工人主要是女性，是该国最脆弱的劳动力部门之一。我们认为，解释这一点的一个重要因素与国家法律相关，该法律仅授予该部门部分权利，从而使此类工人的劳动条件维持较差。在这里，我们分享我们对2020年4月至2020年5月之间对314名PDW进行的调查的分析，确认秘鲁的PDW受高度保护，特别是在COVID大流行期间，因为缺乏全面的社会保护计划。
