abstract: 'The aim of this paper is to examine the level of female workforce
|
|
|
|
participation and quality of employment in rural Jharkhand based on
|
|
|
|
primary survey conducted in 1300 households spread across 7 districts.
|
|
|
|
The study has used mixed method approach to understand the work status
|
|
|
|
and barriers faced by women in accessing quality of employment. Our main
|
|
|
|
findings are that rather than geographic factors, female labour force
|
|
|
|
participation varies more with social norms, which usually work in
|
|
|
|
tandem with economic position of a household as reflected in land and
|
|
|
|
asset holdings. In addition, the cultural norms that assign most of the
|
|
|
|
household responsibilities and unpaid work to women prevent them from
|
|
|
|
accessing paid work opportunities. We also find that there exists gender
|
|
|
|
wage gap both in casual wage and in regular salaried job with women
|
|
|
|
workers at a disadvantage. There is a need to design the skilling and
|
|
|
|
employment opportunities for them which will be suitable for the women
|
|
|
|
to balance both paid and domestic work and to close the gender gap in
|
|
|
|
wages and salaries.'
