The aim of this article is to undertake a critical analysis of Brazilian policy responses to domestic work. Our principal argument is that regulatory responses to the problems of domestic workers so far have not adequately addressed the realities of domestic work, such as those related to domestic work itself and those linked to the profile of domestic workers. Even though the current approach of harmonizing domestic workers' rights with other workers is seen by many as the strongest possible response, we argue that more innovative responses are needed in order to effectively address their specific problems.
