Abstract :

 Due to globalization and due to increasing unemployment in rural areas, the people are migrated to urban in search of employment and in this way, the employment in unorganized sector is increased in urban areas. Women domestic servants are playing important role in working in household chores. But, it is noted that women domestic servants are facing many problems with regard to their working conditions, working hours, wages paid, etc. The present paper highlighted the socio–economic conditions of women domestic servants in Kalaburagi city in North Karnataka. Totally 142 women domestic servants working in different households were interviewed to collect the primary data. The collected primary data clearly revealed that there is exploitation of women domestic servants by their employers. Hence, it is suggested to pass legislations to assure higher wages for women domestic servants.
