Description
The research examines the determinants of good employment practices among private households that purchase services from domestic workers. The questionnaire consists of several screening questions to determine whether the household regularly hires domestic help. The households that belong to this target group are then asked questions about the working relationship with the helper and background information and working conditions of the helper.
