Resumo(s)
The paper has presented an empirical picture of inequalities, both within
and outside the labour market for women, from gender relations emerging
within the framework of overlapping social stratification in rural India.
Analysis is based on secondary data, where the emphasis is not only on
measurement of quantitative variables, but also on the interactions between
various qualitative, socio-economic and socio-cultural variables. The main
finding of the present study is that the participation of women in labour force
varies across economic classes, social groups, religions, regions and the rural
urban divide. Factors determining labour supply decisions of women are
different from those of men. Interconnectedness of female employment with
other social parameters, which are outside the realm of the standard labour
market analysis, gets highlighted in the study.
