Women Empowerment And Home Based Workers
- Abstract
Economic reforms of globlalisation and liberalization led to expansion of labour markets in the economy. The growth of home-based work has been expanding labour markets and helps in reducing transaction costs of co-ordination within the larger firms. The home based work is a kind of contractual activity which releases financial burden of the employer; hence this segment of the labour is more popularized with female workers as compare to male workers. Where female workers are more prone to low wages, they get easily attracted towards this kind of activity where with available time and flexibility women can complete the given output while managing other family responsibilities. The study focuses on the composition of women home based workers and their wage rates pertaining to those particular segments of industries. It also tries to find out the support facilities from the govt. for this particular labour segment. The paper signifies the employment issues of these women workers and also reflects their plight due to poor policy framework. Data collection is based on primary methods such as questionnaire/schedule and will be supplemented by interview. Data analysis will be done using statistical techniques.
