A rapid assessment on extending social security to domestic workers
This report, commissioned by the International Labour Organization assesses the challenges in extending social security benefits to domestic workers in Sri Lanka. It highlights legal gaps, socio-cultural barriers, and practical issues with implementing key schemes like the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), Employees’ Trust Fund (ETF), gratuity, maternity benefits, and work-related injury compensation. To address these challenges, the report suggests both short- and long-term measures, including amending laws, digitizing registration, and introducing new legislation to establish minimum labour standards. The report aims to enhance social security coverage and protect the rights of domestic workers in Sri Lanka.
