Dr. Maya Morsi: Domestic work law formalizes employment
The Minister of Social Solidarity announced that organizing domestic work in Egypt represents an important step towards protecting the rights of female workers, transforming it from an invisible job into a regulated and protected profession. She pointed out that the International Labour Organization's 2025 report estimated the number of domestic workers worldwide at approximately 75.6 million, of whom 76.2% are women. The new draft law aims to establish a legislative framework that includes contracts, licensing, insurance, and registration, with the goal of improving working conditions, ensuring the rights of both workers and employers, and strengthening the social protection system and the caregiving economy.
