The determinants of monthly income of the workers are age, type of work, total family members, per-capita monthly household income, year of schooling and number of houses serviced. Low wages, low level of education, less control over assets and income, verbal and physical abuse and the absence of social security are reflected in their weak bargaining power which results in a low level of empowerment. Women’s earnings do not always ensure empowerment, especially when the wages are low. Meaningful legal safeguards, welfare measures and other provisions for empowerment must be inducted in modern society to reduce injustices, deprivations and indignities towards female domestic workers. – Reproduced   aFemale domestic workers, Informal, Empowerment, Cumulative Empowerment Index, South 24 Parganas921322  aThe Indian Journal of Labour Economics   aWOMEN HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYEES  cAR  00102ddc40709389695aIIPAbIIPAd2021-02-02h63(2), Apr-Jun, 2020: p.483-498pAR124035r2021-02-02yAR
