RECAP

In western countries, there was asevere shortage of labour during the war years. Women took up
duties outside the household to ensure that the economy stays afloat while the men were off fighting
on the fronts.
" In India, women work in both formal and informal sectors.
Housework is mostly still done by women and it is invisible, devalued, and unpaid labour.
The life of working women is very challenging as they have the added burden of domestic chores.
Discrimination against women is seen in social, economic and political fields.
" Economic inequality is predominant in our country.
The Equal Remuneration Act,passed in 1976, prohibits discrimination based on the gender of a
person.
Women remain concentrated in invisible areas of informal work, such as domestic labour and
assistance in small family enterprises.
. Education is gender biased especially in the economically wealker sections of the society.
Occupational segregation is also based on the gender of aperson.
Today, there is focus on making the public aware of women's rights but there is much to be done to
achieve gender equality.
