Role of women workers in the Indian economy

The economy is now set up to allow every available adult to be working. This has had profound effects on family structure, with few changes in benefits and pay and policy. In the era of globalization, it has become commonplace to argue that trade openness in particular generates processes that encourage the increased employment of women, particularly in export-oriented activities. Although most women in India work and contribute to the economy in one form or another, much of their work is not documented or accounted for in official statistics. Women plow fields and harvest crops while working on farms, women weave and make handicrafts while working in household industries, women sell food and gather wood while working in the informal sector. Employed women experience a multitude of work-related stressors, yet they appear to be better off than women who are not employed. Although multiple roles for women produce a number of benefits, certain work conditions are deleterious to women's well-being. They become big entrepreneurs. And now they are not less in any thing when compared to male section. This paper enlightens the role of women in Indian Economy both in rural as well as urban sector.
