Context :
Govt
to start survey of migrants and domestic workers by March / TOI –
06 Jan
Extract :
Ø Senior labour ministry officials told TOI that the framework of the surveys – its sample size and questionnaire – has been completed and the
labour bureau will spend the month training investigators who will conduct the
field surveys
Ø …. The survey of domestic workers, who
constitute roughly 4 % of India’s
working population, is the
first-of-its-kind enumeration exercise that will identify concerns faced by
this section of worker and help the government frame policies to improve their
conditions
Ø The sample size of the household cum
establishment survey has been fixed at
approximately 1.25 lakh
Ø Survey questions will also be available in nine regional languages and
field-level feedback will be captured on digital hand-held devices, with pre-loaded
questionnaires, where nearly 30 % information will be recorded through
Interactive Voice Recording system ( IVRS )

envisaged in my following blog / email :

I am afraid, before opening the door to
welcome the Surveyor, the house-holder would ask to see the questionnaire
Just a quick / cursory glance and he will
say :
“ Thank you but we
do not engage ANY domestic workers. My family members do all household chores “
Now you will appreciate, why I am afraid
this proposed survey would become a Non-Starter !
