Tackling one of the most burning questions for domestic workers and employers everywhere: how to register, formalize and ensure a simple method of extending social security to domestic workers? The report describes the service voucher system in Belgium, France and the Swiss canton of Geneva.

In 2011, the ILO adopted Convention n° 189 and Recommendation n° 201 on decent work for domestic workers.

All over the world, a large proportion of domestic workers remain in the informal economy, and this prevents them from fully enjoying all the rights enshrined in these new standards.

Various countries and regions have set up service voucher schemes that help domestic workers to emerge from the informal economy by easing the administrative burdens on the private citizens who wish to employ them. This report briefly describes how schemes of this kind have been put in place in France, Belgium and the Swiss canton of Geneva, three places where they work particularly well.
