DESCRIPTION:The 91Ö±²¥ Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism. in coll
 aboration with the Labour Law and Development Research Laboratory\, presen
 ts a talk by Dzodzi Tsikata\, O’Brien Fellow in Residence.  Abstract  With
 out exception\, the literature on domestic work in Ghana has found that do
 mestic workers are paid very poor wages\, if at all\, work long hours with
 out properly defined working hours and perform tasks which depend on the c
 hanging needs of their employers. To address these deficits\, studies have
  recommended specific regulations to clarify\, standardise and improve the
  terms and conditions of domestic work. Although boosted by the passage of
  the ILO Convention on Decent Work for Domestic Workers (Convention No. 18
 9 of 2011)\, regulating domestic work would be difficult in Ghana. This is
  because of the nature of domestic work\, the location of its workplace at
  home\, the profile of domestic workers\, the limitations of the existing 
 institutional regime for domestic work and more generally\, the extensive 
 informalisation of work in Ghana.  Speaker  Dzodzi Tsikata\, O’Brien Fello
 w in Residence\, is on sabbatical from the University of Ghana where she i
 s Associate Professor at the Institute of Statistical\, Social and Economi
 c Research (ISSER). Dzodzi Tsikata\, who studied Law at the University of 
 Ghana\, has a Ph.D in Social Science from Leiden University. Her research 
 focuses on gender and development issues\; the work conditions of informal
  workers and the livelihood implications of agriculture and land commercia
 lisation.  A light lunch will be served. Kindly RSVP to chlrp.law [at] mcg
