Work from home hits invisible workforce in Mumbai's unorganised sector

The shift towards work-from-home arrangements in Mumbai has adversely affected women workers in the unorganised sector, particularly those providing informal support services. As corporate offices remain partially emptied, demand for services such as food vendors, housekeeping staff, and transport workers has declined significantly.

Women employed in these informal roles have reported reduced working hours and lower daily earnings. Many lack job security or social safety nets, making them particularly vulnerable to income fluctuations caused by changing workplace practices.
