Women have always been contributing to the economy to achieve remarkable progress. But it is the gender prejudice that still prevails at every social division, although in the most educated and developed society. It is also unable to absorb this noticeable participation of women in all spheres of her life.

This paper focuses on the socio economic conditions of the women domestic workers in Tiruchirappalli Town. The aim of the study is to bring out the problems faced by the women domestic workers. As the population is infinite, the researcher had used the non-probability sampling and adopted convenient sampling method for collecting the sample. Fifty women domestic workers were selected.
