Demand for Maids/Househelps versus Modern Machines for Household Cleaning Chores in India

A study was conducted in the year 2024 to analyze the level of demand for maid servants/househelps in Indian households and their future requirement. The study also investigated into the extent to which modern machines can replace domestic helps in future for household work in India. The study aimed to find out whether there was an association between the income of the household and employment of househelps by households and whether there was an association between the income of the household and number of modern machines used by households. The study also examined whether there was a difference between men and women with respect to satisfaction derived from the work done by househelps. A majority of the respondents said that machines can replace maids/househelps completely in future and this would happen within the next 10 years.
