A Study on Rights of Domestic Workers in Chennai

Abstract

Many studies have revealed that migrant earnings are mostly utilized on 'consumption,' such as food, clothes, housing maintenance, social gatherings, and religious pilgrimages. Furthermore, the research indicates that migrant revenues are being invested in agriculture, small business, education, health, and housing, all of which contribute to household well-being. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons for the failure of government efforts to provide social security and to conduct an in-depth analysis of Central and State government laws and policies that can address critical issues concerning social security and health rights of domestic workers. However, the report also investigates whether the current regulations are adequate to address the barriers to providing security to domestic employees.
