Who are Domestic Workers?

Domestic Workers constitute a large segment of the world working population in informal jobs and are one of the most vulnerable categories of workers. They are employed by private households and are often employed without specific terms of employment and are not registered in any publication and are therefore not covered by the labour laws. The demand for domestic workers is steadily increasing in both developing and developed nations. While a large proportion of men are employed in the field typically as drivers, gardeners, or butlers, it is very feminized with 80 percent of domestic workers are females.

They may be required to perform tasks like cleaning the home cooking, washing, ironing clothes, caring for children, older or sick members of the family gardening, securing the house, driving the family etc.
