Women and Economy - The Unorganised Sector

Abstract

The roles of women have often been mostly domestic. They were deemed to be the weaker gender for a fairly long time. But if we look at the society from the viewpoint of a daily commuter in Kolkata suburban locals or the Mumbai local trains, one will be quite astonished to see so many women travelling daily from their home to workplace and back. And this workplace need not be an office or a school. They have a fair share when it comes to the unorganized sector.
