Sakshi Education
Union Labour Minister, Bhupender Yadav, started India’s first survey of domestic workers on November 22, 2021.The survey of domestic workers is latest among a group of five national jobs enumeration campaigns, launched with the aim of discerning data on vast informal workforce in India.
India’s informal workforce will feed a forthcoming national employment policy in the third-largest economy in Asia.Domestic workers are considered to be a million strong. However, there is little official information available on their actual numbers & parameters, such as their work conditions and average pay. Lack of these data leaves them out from any formal policy that governs India’s informal workers. Thus, this survey was launched to fill this gap and offer “time-series data on domestic workers. This survey will be conducted periodically to provide crucial data for national employment policy, which is being planned by government.
