Abstract
Domestic work remains largely unrecognized as labour, with no full-fledged national law to regulate it. The existing provisions of the unorganized sector inadequately cover the physical, emotional, social, and economic circumstances faced by domestic workers. They are excluded from basic entitlements since the draft e-Industrial Relations Code still does not cover domestic work. Consequently, such workers remain unprotected, irrespective of years of service or number of households engaged.
