Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The ongoing protest of accredited social health activists in Kerala carries significant potential in shaping broader working-class solidarities among women care workers. However, it is crucial to situate their demands—and those of other scheme-based voluntary women workers—within the wider context of labour informalities and the state’s appropriation of unpaid and underpaid care work. Although advocating for improved wages is crucial, emphasising only one group and asserting that the nature of their work warrants higher pay may undermine broader collective action.- Reproduced
