Product Description

It is well-known that notions of work and Employment in official data systems undermine women’s work. While the gender gap in paid work has narrowed only slightly in developed countries, it has increased in ‘emerging economies’ such as India. Labouring women explores these unfavourable trends and analyses the current position and condition of women’s work. It argues that despite the supposed development, policy changes and talk of equality, experiences of labouring women show that their challenges have multiplied, both at work and at home, with longer working hours and greater reliance on Unpaid work
