The 2011 Census of India classifies the total population into Main Workers, Marginal Workers, and Non-workers. Main workers are further classified based on their economic activity. The four major categories used for classifying workers based on occupation in the Indian Census are Cultivators, Agricultural Labourers, Workers in Household Industry, and Other Workers. Domestic workers are a type of occupation that falls under the “Other Workers” category and are not listed as one of the four major classification categories for the entire workforce.
