| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the latest Employment-Unemployment Survey (EUS) data published by National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) to study the relationship between the composition of work done by women and the social hierarchies woven around gender in rural India. It has been investigated whether there is an increased trend towards participation in unpaid work which is not measured by NSSO. Rural Indian economy for the years 2004-05 and 2011-12 has been studied, using unit level data of the 61st and 68th Round. A regional analysis has been attempted to see the pattern of employment emerging for women workers from different socio-economic classes. Regions, present a varied picture but the double burden of disadvantage and inequality prevails on women workers. Logistic regression framework has been used and results denote that relegation of women to unpaid work is a major issue. Another unique aspect captured in the results of this paper is the fact that, quantitative measure of female participation is not enough in a developing economy like India and it is essential to move beyond the dual aspect of the determinants of and the level of female labour force participation rate. Another study along the same lines is being planned by the author, with the periodic labour force survey (PLFS) that has been launched by NSSO, across India, since April 2017. It intends to explore whether the results of this study are still relevant with the recent data or if the scenario has changed. It will be interesting to see whether the quarterly selection of fresh samples for the rural areas in the PLFS will highlight the same picture as this study, or a different, more encouraging one. | pt_PT |
