The paper delves into the critical domain of domestic work, exploring its intricate issues, existing literature, and pertinent policies. Domestic work, largely characterized by informality and invisibility, encompasses a wide array of tasks performed within private households, often by marginalized and vulnerable individuals. The abstract provides an overview of the obstacles plaguing domestic workers, including labour exploitation, lack of recognition, and limited access to social protection. It highlights the gendered dimensions of domestic work, shedding light on its impact on womens empowerment and well being. Additionally, the abstract delves into the existing literature, discussing key research findings and gaps in understanding domestic work dynamics. The paper concludes with an analysis of prevailing policies and legal frameworks governing domestic work, addressing their effectiveness and potential areas for improvement. Through this we aim to foster meaningful dialogue and drive evidence based policy discussions to empower domestic workers and ensure their rights and dignity in the workforce. Shridhar. S.
