Domestic Workers Skill Conclave at NEDFI, Guwahati on June 14th, 2019

in Events, Industry

On the occasion of ‘International Domestic Worker Day’, Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council in Collaboration with ASDM (Assam Skill Development Mission) is organizing a Domestic Workers Skill Conclave at NEDFI, Guwahati on June 14th, 2019.

Despite their huge number, the majority of domestic workers in India still remain illiterate, low-skilled and ill-provided in their lives and workplaces. They are also one of the poorest and most exploited groups of workers in the country, migrating in sizeable numbers, often trafficked and works at low wages, meagre benefits, and less legal or social protections compared to most other wage workers, with the probable exception of casual day labourers and industrial outworkers.

Domestic Workers in the North East states of India

The North East region employs a large number of women and young girls as domestic workers. Usually coming from illiterate or semi-literate backgrounds, domestic work is a primary source of employment in the unorganized sector. Given that less than 1% of the workforce is formally trained and certified, nearly 80-85% workers are potential beneficiaries of skill development programs. Tier I and Tier II cities in India have the highest demand for domestic helps.
