1 CHAPTER-7 Problems & Challenges of Women Domestic Workers in Informal Sector
2 CHAPTER VII PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES OF WOMEN DOMESTIC WORKERS IN INFORMAL SECTOR 7.1 INTRODUCTION: Women domestic workers in the informal sector consist of the most vulnerable working segments in society. They came from a marginalized population who s legal, economic and political status limit their ability to demand their rights. These women include domestic workers whose social and economic contributions to society are invisible to the public, the law and policies of the country. They face challenges because their work is not considered rural work so that their rights to minimum standards of decent work are continually violated. The unique feature of their work place, which is the home of their employer, makes them vulnerable to abuses and exploitation. This is because the state would always be reluctant to consider a home a workplace that they can regulate. The lack of capacity, support and unity as that in organized sector make the challenges they face doubly difficult. As a result, this paper attempts to look at these challenges through studies into the profile of domestic workers, their burdens and vulnerabilities in work, existing labour and other legislations that are applicable to them, efforts of the government to address the issues and efforts of domestic workers and partner organizations to organize them. This paper also covers issues related to minimum standards of decent work, including definitions, terms and conditions of domestic work, live in and live out arrangements, wages, leaves and social security. Women domestic work has long been ingrained in the mindset of the Indian society. Domestic work is seen as menial and impure occupation traditionally performed by people, mostly women and children, whose lives are still dominated by a caste system that assigned people his/her place in the society. 146
3 Domestic work has a long history in India with both men and women working in others homes as servants. The affluent had servants; mostly men with loyalty obligation and patronage bring the salient aspects of this relationship. Caste defined the hierarchy lower castes performed the dirty work of cleaning while higher caste men cooked. Though domestic work is not a new phenomenon in India, it cannot simply be viewed as an extension of historical feudal culture where the affluent employed servants. Both in the urban and rural contexts, the nature of work and workers have been rapidly changing. The sector now primarily comprises women domestic workers who are not recognized as workers while their work is undervalued. This is primarily due to the gendered notion of housework; value is not ascribed to women s work in their homes, and by extension, even paid work in other s homes is not given any value or regarded as work. It is also undervalued because it is often performed by poor, migrant women from lower castes. All these contribute to the inferior states of their work, both in their own minds and in society. Domestic work, however, is still undervalued. It is looked upon as unskilled because most women have traditionally been considered capable of doing the work, and the skills they are taught by other women in the home are perceived to be innate. When paid, therefore, the work remains undervalued and poorly regulated. By contrast, studies that provide space for domestic workers to speak often reveal their belief in the dignity of their hard work, and, as such, it warrants recognition and respect and calls for regulation. Domestic work includes mental, manual and emotional aspects, including care work communities. Domestic work is thus viewed as reproductive work that creates not only labour units but also people and social relations. Anderson further draws attention to domestic work being rooted in the community. By the doing of domestic work we literally reproduce our communities and our place with in them In this context, it is important to note who does the domestic work as this reflects the relation between genders race and class. The employer-employee relationship is a complex one and is viewed as one of domination, dependence and inequality. Also, this is an area of work where the employer and the 147
4 employee are mostly females. As a home is the site of work, relations between employer and employee are often not limited to work but spill over as larger support systems. Domestic workers in India look access to sufficient and effective statutory measures and institutional mechanisms for their protection. Steps have been taken by the government both at the national and state levels to protect their rights. Nevertheless, the few labour laws enacted by the national and state governments addressing domestic workers face the challenge of implementation. This is aggravated by the discriminating attitude of many employers against the domestic workers, including caste prejudices. As a result those who carry out domestic work are largely ignored working sectors often specially excluded and economically exploited. On the other hand, the government recognizes the prominent role of migrant domestic workers as a source of foreign exchange in the Indian economy and a solution to the country s unemployment issues. Compared to their local counterparts, a higher degree of regulation is exerted by the government in the process of their deployment. But despite efforts by the government, Indian domestic workers with in and outside the country remain vulnerable to all forms of exploitation from the moment they enter the recruitment process till they enter the workplace. The women domestic workers cited a number of obstacles that impeded their efforts to resolve disputes, violations and abuses that arise in their workplace. First, the employers tend to use their economic and social influence to intimidate employees that complain or make claims against them. The respondents also reported that they experienced abusive treatment, sexual harassment, discrimination and unfair working conditions. The experiences involved undertaking demeaning tasks like washing undergarments and toilets with open hands and handling sick people without protective gear, denial of rest and food, and introduction of additional tasks and varying the workload beyond initial agreements without additional compensation. the challenges that faced women domestic workers. As shown, low wages, 148
5 unreliable pay, and job insecurity were cited as the most serious and common challenges facing female domestic workers. Feel is there any need for the improvement in working condition Women domestic workers working conditions further exacerbate their exposure to abuse, which largely arises out of their informal status in the economy. Since their work primarily takes place in private households, they are invisible from the formal labor structures, hidden from the public. As a result, they cannot defend their rights and unions cannot represent them. The informal nature of domestic work, often results in exploitative and harsh forms of labor, exposing these workers to human rights abuses. Due to poor in many cases none regulation, migrant domestic workers face excessive hours, physical and sexual abuse, forced labor and confinement. In many countries, this also includes foregoing wages and paying debt bondage. The following table 7.1 shown the feel is there any need for the improvement in working condition Table-7.1 Feel is there any need for the improvement in working condition Sl.

Confinement and restrictions on their freedom of movement because 149
6 of their harsh working conditions also contribute to their social isolation and their further exposure to abuse. Since migrant domestic workers have little to no opportunity to demand better working conditions through unions and legal protection, they often receive few, if any, social benefits. This includes insufficient rest time and little to no opportunities to visit their relatives during medical emergencies, and no pension and presented Graph 7.1.

Apart from the unduly hours of work required in domestic service, it was also noted that there is a woeful lack of stand regarding holidays, servants day offs and sick leave for at workers. Workers do not have any fixed number of leaves and on an average of one leave in a month was found existing. Extended leaves very often have the risk of losing wages the following table 7.6.expressed Holidays can you take in a month without informing the owners Sl.

Graph-7.7 If yes what will you get? As domestic work involves more of personal relationships, payments are sometimes paid in kind than in cash. Since the quality of food, Break fast, tea, 158
15 coffee and the facilities given to D.W s are difficult to quantify. In addition to wages, some domestics receive pecuniary benefits such as clothes old as well as new, allowances and donations for festivals and other occasions and food. These are found to supplement the wage income, which is most important form of compensation. A large number of D.W s were found to receive old clothes from their employers. Following table 7.8 views of respondents. Table-7.8 If yes what will you get Sl. No. Particulars No. of respondents Percentage 1 Break fast Lunch Dinner Snacks tea coffee sweets 00 Total The above table 7.8 reveals about breakfast, lunch or dinner at the work place Attitude of women domestic workers.

Other benefits were mostly in the form of old clothes or old food. This suggests that D.W s do not add much as other benefits to their income. It seems that the importance of other benefits are decreasing W1 the increased formalization of the job. and also presented in the Graph
16 Graph-7.8 In general do you feel you are treated well by your employer It is clear that employers treat well and benefit from the employer can be taken as a matter of right.

Graph-7.9 Get leave as per your requirement These studies also note that only a few workers get a weekly off; paid leave is often the result of difficult negotiations with the employers. Getting sick leave also depends on the good will of the employer. Instances of workers losing their jobs due to long leave taken at time of childbirth or ill health are often reported. Some also lose their jobs when they visit their places. Deduction in wages for extra leave is a common practice among employers.

22 Problem faced by women domestic worker s in terms of work and sexual harassment Whether your owner any time try to harassed for you sexually Sexual harassment is yet another serious issue faced by domestics. This is found to range from sexually coloured remarks/ gestures, unwanted physical contact, molestation and even rape. Growing job and income insecurities coupled with comparative social disadvantages add to the vulnerability of the domestics. The major cause domestic work becoming unpopular and unstandardised is the low social status attached to the occupation and the concentration of lower castes in it. The domestics have complained of being treated as a class apart, and the stigma of social inferiority was found among all the workers, sexual harassment includes such unwelcome sexually determined behaviour as: Physical contact, a demand or request for sexual favour, sexually coloured remarks, showing pornography, any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature, for example, leering, telling dirty jokes, making sexual remarks about a person's body, etc. It moves into the harassment domain when it is not consensual.
