Abstract
The report analyzes research regarding women in the labour force, towards policy recommendations and new labour legislation. Employment agencies need to be more closely scrutinized and regulated, both public and private, as well as informal agencies and agents. Based on an understanding of their operations and the clients they serve, such as this research provides, with a particular focus on women’s labour in domestic and banking sectors, Ministries of Employment and Social Welfare and the Labour Commissions can devise new policy and legislation that will empower women under at least minimum standards with regards to terms and conditions of employment.
