Since a clear majority of domestic workers are women and girl children, this paper takes a gender lens to study the decent work deficits in domestic work.

It is worthwhile to mentioned that this study was commissioned by the ILO Dhaka Office and
conducted by the Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU).
