Abstract: The study examined the organising of domestic workers by Union and its effects on Socioeconomic development despite their being marginalised by other social partners. The paper attempts to build on organising model through exploring the means of recognising domestic workers in view of their contributions. Quantitative and Survey method were used. Organising domestic workers have significant effect on Socio economic development and serves as platform for granting them rights and protection. Unemployment reduction, women empowerment, tax generation and crime reduction. Developing countries pay less attention to legal framework for organising domestic workers despite its huge benefits to socio economic development.
