Abstract

Domestic work is a work performed in or for more than one household. In India, household works are always considered to fall within the ambit or sphere of women. While it has become indispensable for both the male and female members of a family to earn for a better life the need to engage a female worker to take care of all the household chores has increased. These domestic workers form a part of unorganized workforce in the Indian population and their conditions of work are often undervalued, unprotected and unregulated. The current pandemic situation on one hand highlighted the need to keep our houses and surroundings clean and on the other hand the need to acknowledge the existence and skills of the domestic workers. They do not receive minimum pay or safe working conditions. In this backdrop this paper tries to discuss their difficulties, working conditions and to highlight on their rights to be protected.
