abstract: 'This paper examines quantitative and qualitative dimensions of
|
|
|
|
employment issues in India from gender lens. Inequality in quantitative
|
|
|
|
aspects have been analysed gender gap in work participation, composition
|
|
|
|
and structure of employment. The study finds that female work
|
|
|
|
participation in India has declined sharply despite faster economic
|
|
|
|
growth and improvement in female literacy outcomes. The magnitude of
|
|
|
|
decline is sharper in case of illiterate, women from less privileged
|
|
|
|
class and rural backgrounds. Similarly, even after two decades of
|
|
|
|
economic reform, female workers are highly concentrated in low
|
|
|
|
productive, less remunerative and unpaid family labour category of self
|
|
|
|
employment activities. Considering the qualitative dimension of jobs,
|
|
|
|
the paper finds that the condition of female workers are more vulnerable
|
|
|
|
as they are highly concentrated in informal sector and informal jobs
|
|
|
|
with no employment security, no social security, and are being paid
|
|
|
|
relatively lower wages compared to male workers in most of the
|
|
|
|
sub-sector. The paper argues for an urgent policy intervention to ensure
|
|
|
|
access to decent jobs and to provide protection to these vulnerably
|
|
|
|
placed women workers.'
