La santé et la sécurité au travail pour les travailleurs domestiques, un droit fondamental en peine de traduction normative concrète

Abstract. The essay examines the protection of occupational health and safety in domestic work with a focus on the Italian and Spanish legal systems. After analysing the relevant international and EU legal framework, it argues that the absence of sector-specific technical standards undermines the effectiveness of this fundamental right. It concludes by suggesting a progressive and participatory regulatory approach capable of reconciling worker protection with the specific characteristics of domestic work.
