contents Care arrangements and bargains: Anganwadi and paid domestic workers in India Rajni Palriwala N. Neetha This article explores state and social understandings of care work in India by examining two categories of non-family care workers – hired domestic workers and Anganwadi Workers/Helpers under the Integrated Child Development Scheme. Classified as “volunteers” in a government programme, the Anganwadi Workers/Helpers enjoy some social standing and relatively extensive unionization compared with domestic workers. Also, domestic workers have to make much harder trade-offs between their family’s livelihood and daily care needs. The economic undervaluation of the care work they perform, however, is common to both categories of workers. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2010.00101.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2010.00101.x publication.journalArticle
