E/C.12/IDN/CO/1 (b) Review the method for the establishment of the level of the minimum wage so that it enables a decent living for the workers and their families, in accordance with the provisions of art. 7 of the Covenant; (c) Increase the number of the labour inspectors and strengthen their capacity to act independently and effectively to combat violations of labour rights. Conditions of work in the informal economy 16. The Committee is concerned about the lack of just and favourable conditions of work for the two-thirds of the State party’s workforce who are employed in the informal economy (art. 7). The committee recommends that the State party adopt a long-term strategy that involves measures to ensure the just and favourable conditions of workers employed in the informal economy, in accordance with the provisions of the Covenant, which (a) addresses the regulatory obstacles to the creation of companies and employments in the formal economy; (b) facilitates the regularization of workers employed in the informal economy; (c) expands the scope of application of the 2003 Manpower Law and labour inspection to the informal economy. Domestic workers 17. The Committee is concerned that the 2003 Manpower Law excludes domestic workers, denying them legal protection of their labour rights and that the draft law on domestic workers has been pending for adoption at the Parliament since 1994. The Committee is further concerned at conditions of work of domestic workers who work long hours, are paid under the minimum wage, and are often victims of violence and sexual harassment (art. 7). The Committee calls on the State party to expedite the adoption of the draft law on domestic workers and to ensure that it provides for: (a) The same working conditions as other workers covered by the 2003 Manpower Law as regards remuneration, protection against unfair dismissal, occupational health and safety, rest and leisure, limitation of working hours, and social security, among others; (b) Additional protection in relation to conditions, such as residence with the employer, that render domestic workers vulnerable to forced labour, violence and sexual harassment; (c) Effective mechanisms for reporting abuse and exploitation which take account of the difficulty for some domestic workers to access telecommunication means; (d) An inspection mechanism for monitoring the conditions of work of domestic workers. The Committee also recommends that the State party raise awareness among the population in general of the need to respect the human rights of domestic workers and among law enforcement officials of the applicability of the provisions of Law 23/2004 on Domestic Violence for the prosecution of cases of violence against domestic workers. The Committee recommends that the State party ratify the International Labour Organization (ILO) Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189). 6
