Africa-Press – Angola. The National Social Security Institute (INSS) in Moxico registers a low adherence of domestic workers to social protection services, said this Tuesday, in Luena, the local representative of this institution, Jacob Capaia.
The official who was speaking during a lecture aimed at the military of the Eastern Region (RML), as part of the awareness campaign on the registration of domestic workers to the INSS, stating that currently only four have registered in the province.
“We are concerned, because the number of workers who develop these services does not justify the number, hence the need to develop activities that can help to clarify the advantages of enrollment”, he said.
He reiterated that only workers who have at least 180 months of contributions benefit from the retirement pension, highlighting the right to breastfeeding, vacation, maternity, Christmas, retirement, old-age or death allowances.
He recalled that the guarantee of social protection or enrollment in the INSS is the responsibility of the employer and the worker.
The INSS, according to the person in charge, will continue to promote awareness campaigns, foreseeing in a first phase, covering the residents of the Centrality “Heróis de Cangamba”, which brings together more than two thousand people, as well as the urbanizations “4 de Fevereiro” and ” 4 de Abril” and some peripheral neighborhoods of Luena.
The short-term goal is, according to the lecturer, to enroll more than 200 domestic workers in Social Security.
The province of Moxico, with 223 thousand 23 square meters, is inhabited by close to one million people, distributed in nine municipalities, namely, Alto Zambeze, Bundas, Camanongue, Cameia, Luacano, Luau, Léua, Luchazes and Moxico.
