Political parties have voiced support for better benefits and protection for domestic workers who are excluded from the mandatory provisions of the Social Security Act.
Representatives from the Chartpattanakla Party, the Thai Sang Thai Party, the Move Forward Party, the Thai Social Democratic Party and the Equality Party, said they all recognised the need to ensure domestic workers have the same social security rights as other workers.
While domestic workers are protected under the Labour Ministry's 14th announcement, they are excluded from Section 33 of the social security law.
