How much do domestic workers earn in March 2026

Domestic workers in Argentina continue to earn the same amounts as in previous months, pending a new salary agreement that has not yet been reached.

In Argentina, the salary rates for domestic workers remain unchanged for March 2026, following the lack of a new negotiation agreement that would adjust their wages. Currently, these workers are still under the rates set in January, as stated in resolution 3/2025. The absence of updated salary negotiations reflects ongoing discussions between the labor union and the Secretary of Labor, with anticipation for a meeting to address potential wage increases in the near future.

As of now, domestic workers are considered a vital part of the household service sector in Argentina, and their pay is typically based on hourly and monthly rates set by the government. The continuation of existing wage rates signifies the ongoing challenges within the labor market, particularly for sectors that are often informally employed despite their essential role in many families.

The situation highlights the need for better regulations and support for domestic workers, who are often not afforded the same rights and benefits as those in formal employment. As negotiations progress, there is hope that new agreements will lead to fairer compensation, reflecting their contributions to household management and care responsibilities.
