Sedangkan, perbedaan yang signifikan adalah dalam aspek regulasi pekerja rumahan yang sudah ada di Thailand, tetapi belum ada atau masih terbatas di Indonesia dan India. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa masing-masing faktor pelindung dan risiko yang telah diidentifikasi memengaruhi perempuan pekerja rumahan untuk melalui ketiga proses resiliensi sosial, yaitu recovery, sustainability, dan growth.
