This study examines the impact of technology-based skill development on the socio-economic status of domestic workers in Karnataka, India. Using structural equation modelling with data from 433 female domestic workers across five districts, the research investigates how digital skill interventions influence employability, job security, and access to government welfare schemes. The findings reveal that technology-based skill development significantly enhances socio-economic outcomes through improved employability (β = 0.53, p < 0.001), with job security serving as a crucial mediating factor. However, government welfare schemes showed limited effectiveness in mediating the relationship between skill development and socio-economic advancement. The study highlights that 78% of respondents work part-time, with 88% receiving cash payments, indicating persistent informality. While digital skill programs create pathways for economic mobility, their success depends on facilitating stable employment rather than mere knowledge transfer. The research underscores the need for better integration between skill development initiatives and social protection systems to maximize benefits for marginalized domestic workers.
