NEW PAPER OUT. In this paper forthcoming in the International Labour Review I examine the personal scope of ILO Standards - THREAD 👇🏼papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… #ILO #ILS #platformwork #domesticwork #informalwork #C189 
A common misconception is that ILO Standards only apply to people in a employment relationship since this was the common lynchpin for labour rights during the 20th century in most industrialized countries, and the ILO is mistakenly assumed to follow suit
Instead, if we look at the travaux préparatoires of the Standards we often find that constituents frequently intended them to cover workers beyond the standard employment relationship. This is often confirmed by the works of the ILO Supervisory Bodies. A prominent example are 👇🏼

In the traditional breadwinner & caregiver roles, men made money & women tended to home. As women stepped out to work & with affordability, the caregiving tasks were outsourced. Our disrespect for domestic work continued. We didn't value it earlier, we don't value it now (2/n)
Our collective disrespect for domestic work, which comes out in our introduction of homemakers ("she doesn't work"), makes us apathetic to this work. India does not recognise #domesticwork as work yet. (3/n)
