The Home and the World of Work: Examining the Intersections of Gender, Labour and Capital

The study follows the lives of 184 women garment workers in Karnataka, India, over two years, documenting their experiences of exploitation, low wages, and time poverty. The report highlights the generational cycle of informal labor, with many workers' children entering low-paid informal work themselves. It also discusses the crisis of social reproduction, where women's unpaid labor at home supports the capitalist system's need for a low-paid workforce.
