What is the main benefit of registration of informal women workers?

Correct answer: Labour identity and access to social security schemes

Informal women workers may work as domestic workers, home-based producers, street vendors, agricultural workers, or helpers without a formal employment record. Because their work is often not documented, they may find it difficult to prove their work status or reach public support programmes. Registration can create an official labour identity and make it easier to connect eligible workers with social security, insurance, welfare, training, or other protections. It can also make their contribution more visible in planning and policy.

Option B is correct because it combines recognition with access to support. Registration does not hide work, stop wages, or reduce training; those choices would weaken workers’ rights. It also does not automatically solve every problem, since implementation and awareness remain important, but it provides a useful formal link to schemes and protections. The key educational idea is that documenting invisible labour can strengthen recognition, security, and the worker’s ability to claim entitlements.
