Government policies often exacerbate the vulnerability of marginalized workers instead of protecting them. The International Labor Organization estimates that 30 percent of the world’s domestic workers are employed in countries whose labor laws completely exclude them, giving employers free rein to make them work around the clock for pitiful wages with few avenues for redress. Many others are employed in countries that provide some protection but tend to leave them out of regulations establishing a minimum wage, social security systems, maternity benefits, workday limits and occupational health and safety measures.
