| It is estimated 70 per cent of garment workers are women, working in factories, sweatshops, or as homeworkers. |
| Up to 170,000 homeworkers could get more money under new minimum wage regulations. |
| But some technological changes resulted in new forms of homework or a greater demand for certain traditional tasks performed by homeworkers. |
| Women are disproportionately employed in the so-called atypical workforce of part-timers, temporary workers, and homeworkers. |
| Some employers have been using the system to cheat homeworkers out of their hard-earned cash, but this should make it more difficult to do so. |
| Though more public attention has been drawn to homeworkers, eight years later, their situations have barely improved. |
