The evidence set out herein confirms the findings of other research: domestic employment is more highly feminized than other care-related occupations, domestic woikers tend to have a lower education level, a higher percentage of them live in poverty or indigence, and the share of indigenous persons is higher than among other workers in the care sector. Domestic employment is the category with the highest concentration of female heads of household and women in households with children and adolescents. There is a strong correlation between domestic employment and single-parent households headed by women, reflecting a core inequality grounded in a disadvantaged position, a high degree of dependence on income from long workdays and the challenges posed by reconciling paid and unpaid work.
