Their contribution to agriculture, industry and services is critical. However, planners and policy makers frequently ignore women's economic roles, drawing simplistic conclusions from inadequate data. Women and Work in South Asia provides a cross-cultural perspective on research on women's work in South Asia.

Therefore it has become a family enterprise. The whole family of men, women and children work on it and earn their livelihood. Men's role in agriculture is widely known, but women's role is not that open, though they mostly work for more number of hours, with less privileges, tedious activities and with painful postures. It is only in the recent times that their role is being recognized, though there is a possibility that the women themselves are not aware of their contributions, hardships, and above all over burden of not only the household jobs but jobs related to agriculture and allied fields. The conditions is worse when they work on fields not of their own but on others. India is a vast country marked by different regions with diverse agro-climatic conditions. Hence the importance of conducting region-specific studies.

There is need for region-specific studies to gain clearer and deeper insights into the extent of women’s participation in agriculture and allied enterprises, problems confronted by them, and shifts in policy measures to be made to help them play a productive role and act as effective partners, along with men, in agricultural and rural development. The present humble attempt to make a micro level study.

This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rise in female entrepreneurship signifies progress for women's rights and improvement in their social and economic lives. Women's entrepreneurship and female empowerment go hand in hand. Similar to their male counterparts, female business owners contribute significantly to the nation's Gross National Product (GNP) in terms of innovation, employment generation, and more. When women and men enjoy an equal playing field, economies flourish. Entrepreneurship can work as an instrument of innovation. Despite the social obstacles, Indian women stand out from the other women and are praised for their accomplishments in their various fields. Indian women had to alter their way of life in order to accommodate the changing social structure of Indian society, which was brought about by the growing educated standing of women and their diverse desires for a better life. This article aims to review studies on women's entrepreneurial and creative thinking in India. To clarify the study, some examples from India were also included.

Download or read book Rural Women at Work written by Ruth B. Dixon-Mueller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. This study is Volume I of the Global Environment and Development 7 volume set. One of the most promising areas identified in the initial study was female labor-force participation. If good jobs at decent wages were offered to women, particularly those living in rural areas, would such employment have an effect on family size? Would their jobs compete for the women's time as mothers and housewives, offer them an alternative route to acquiring status and a sense of purpose, and perhaps also provide the women with an independent source of income which would enable them to achieve more control over their lives? But, as the original volume makes clear, the situation is more complicated than it first appears to be.
