This report, the result of the joint efforts of the HomeNet International Gender Committee and its affiliates, offers a first global snapshot of the working conditions of over 1.3 million home-based workers in 30 countries. Through a rigorous survey collectively designed and implemented, we highlight violations of fundamental rights and the gender, class, and social inequalities that perpetuate informality and lack of protection in this sector. This pioneering study aims to bring visibility and recognition to home-based work, laying the foundation for tools that promote decent, safe, and recognized employment.
