The Senate has approved a reform that would ensure that Mexico’s more than 2 million domestic workers have access to social security benefits.
Senators voted unanimously in favor of reforming the Social Security Law to make the enrollment of domestic workers in a simplified IMSS social security scheme obligatory.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that domestic workers must must have access to social security benefits like any other worker, but legislation to support its decision was not in place.
