Vulneración del derecho al servicio de cuidado infantil para trabajadores públicos y privados.

Abstract

A large number of public and private sector workers have children under 5 years of age in their care at home, who require special care and attention during the whole time of the day when their parents are away from home due to their work. The recent Organic Law on the Right to Human Care establishes that public and private entities must have a space for this child care in their facilities or as close to them as possible, thus facilitating this right to working parents. However, this is not new, the labor code already stipulated it long before; and even the ministry of labor has recently issued a ministerial agreement that details this right even more precisely and also incorporates an economic bonus to working parents so that they can pay for external child care services, if the institution where they work does not have its own service.
