Home-Based Workers on E-Shram: Evidence from Delhi
Home-based workers are those workers who undertake productive or remunerative employment from within their own home or adjacent premises. Home-based workers are engaged in many branches of industry and represent a significant share of urban employment, especially in India. Home-based workers have historically been invisibilised from labor statistics, both in terms of their numbers and their contributions to the economy. The E-Shram initiative, designed to register unorganized sector workers, presented a crucial opportunity to enumerate home-based workers (HBWs) and consequently strengthen their access to social security. SEWA Delhi, thus, conducted a sector-wise scoping study on registration of HBWs on E-shram with the objective to assess how effectively HBWs are captured in the E- Shram database.
