About Us
The centre strives to study conditions where all working people can live with dignity.
It also tends to work to make efforts that will ensure all working people are able to access nothing less than a ‘need-based minimum wage’, along with ‘decent conditions at work’ as laid down in policy documents, legislation and the law of the land.
About the Workshop
The Centre for Labour Law Research and Advocacy (CLLRA), National Law University Delhi (NLUD) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) (India office) are organizing a ONE-DAY National Workshop on 22nd May 2023, to deliberate on a legal framework to ensure decent livelihood and welfare for paid domestic workers in India. The one-day National Workshop would discuss an efficient legal framework for domestic workers in India and different components of proposed legislation, including definitive and interpretative standards.
Concept Note:
Paid domestic work is an important part of today’s market economy, but its legal recognition is inadequate. It has been associated with precarity, low wages, exploitative and discriminatory practices, lack of job security and social security, and is particularly vulnerable to abusive practices. India has an obligation to address the plight of paid domestic workers, and a one-day National Workshop is being held to discuss a legal framework to improve their work-life conditions. The Indian judiciary has also upheld the right to minimum wages and dignity at the workplace and ensured protection for domestic workers.
