The Committee takes note of the Government’s report and the supplementary information provided in light of the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 338th Session (June 2020).

Article 2 of the Convention. Application of the principle of the Convention to live-in caregivers. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that live-in caregivers were excluded from the applicability of the Hours of Work and Rest Law, 1951, including the provisions on overtime pay, and requested the Government: (1) to continue its efforts in finding the appropriate solution to ensure that the remuneration of live-in care-work, a female-dominated sector, is not under-evaluated based on gender stereotypes; (2) to identify benchmarks or milestones to mark progress towards achieving the objectives of the Convention in a time-bound manner; and (3) to provide information on any measures taken to raise awareness among the users and beneficiaries of care services of the need to recognize the value of care work. The Committee concluded in reminding the Government of the possibility to avail itself of ILO technical assistance in this regard. The Committee notes the Government’s reiteration that there is no discrimination in payment between national and foreign caregivers and lack of information on the issue of the low level of remuneration of this female-dominated sector and its efforts to improve the situation. It also refers to its comments on the application of the Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) and the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111). The Committee again asks the Government : (i) to report on its efforts to ensure that the remuneration of live-in care-work, a female-dominated sector, is not under-evaluated based on gender stereotypes; (ii) to identify benchmarks or milestones to mark progress towards achieving the objectives of the Convention in a time-bound manner; and (iii) to provide information on any measures taken to raise awareness among the users and beneficiaries of care services, and the general public as a whole, of the need to recognize the value of care work. The Committee reminds the Government of the possibility to avail itself of ILO technical assistance in this regard.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
