Die Auswirkungen niedrigerer Löhne und Herausforderungen für Hausangestellte

Domestic work is a significant and enduring component of the Namibian labor market, but its contribution to the Namibian economy has consistently been undervalued due to the wage levels of domestic workers. This study aims to examine the components of low wages for domestic workers and the challenges they face, as well as their economic value, building on the relatively limited number of economic studies on domestic work in Namibia; it is hoped that this study will provide a new perspective on the topic. The issue of domestic work in Namibia has not received much attention. The study employed a qualitative approach and focused on the experiences of domestic workers in the Oshana region. Based on data from 40 questionnaires completed by domestic workers, this research specifically investigates the experiences of domestic workers in the town of Oshakati in the Oshana region. Domestic work is the second largest employment sector for black women in Namibia.
