Sumario:In 2011, the International Labor Organization adopted Convention 189 which is a regulatory model for paid domestic work. Though only 17 countries have been ratified this convention, its influence can be seen in new legislation adopted or still in parliamentary treatment in different countries, particularly in the Global South. In this context, this research aims to analyze the standards labor setting process for domestic work. This process consists of three stages: the production of convention within the ILO, its diffusion, and its translation into local regulations. In particular, regulations on domestic work of Argentina, South Africa and the Philippines will be analyzed in this report.
