Product Description
Home-based working is defined as paid employment in the home or in a building or yard near the home, for example traditional crafts, making clothes and shoes, or basic clerical work. Millions of women around the world take up this form of employment. However, there is rarely a regular supply of work, and home-based workers do not usually have any rights such as to a minimum wage, to social security, or a pension. These workers are rarely counted in official statistics or recognized by trade unions.
Drawing on experience in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, this highly practical manual outlines training in mapping, a successful strategy for organizing and empowering home-based workers. The manual is designed to assist organizations or individuals who are carrying out mapping projects and to facilitate the building of independent home-based worker organizations.
Packed with colorful photos, We Work at Home offers a wide range of ideas, activities, and handouts around which a wide range of training sessions may be built.
