Reflexiones sobre el reconocimiento y remuneración del trabajo de cuidado a partir de la Ley 2305 de 2023, como un avance para la igualdad de la mujer en el campo laboral en Colombia.

Abstract

Home care work has been a female job for centuries, just as the work of a housewife has been underestimated and not valued, the fact that it is the women in the family who must care for vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and disabled people without any help, salary or training leaves much to be desired regarding their protection and the equality of trades between men and women. For this reason, this work intends to reflect on the characteristics of this profession, the existing legislation, jurisprudence and public policies in favor of this protection and for taking into account the legislative advances in recent years based on the Law 2305 of 2023. It is intended through a documentary and legal analysis complemented by a multiple case study to reach conclusions that allow reviewing the reality of the caregiver in Colombia.
