Book Description

Women especially those belonging to the poorer sections of Indian society, constitute a significant part of the labour force. Although they are not as visible in the formal industrial sector, a large number of poor women are engaged in the informal agricultural and service sectors and make an important contribution to the economic output of the country. In addition, women are engaged in household work, the productive nature of which is gradually being recognized. Unfortunately, their contribution in the economic sphere is poorly reflected in the planning process. Apart from their economic contribution women play a significant role in upholding the moral and ethical fabric of society. The failure to appreciate and strengthen this role has contributed to the breakdown of moral values and the growing violence in our society.
