Summary, etc. The notion of 'work and employment' for women is complex. While economic factors predominantly determine a man's participation in employment, the reasons why women work, or do not work, or whether they work part-time or full-time, can be diverse and are often rooted in a complex interplay of economic, cultural, social and personal factors.<br/><br/>In India, as in most other parts of the world, fewer women participate in employment compared to men. This is the backdrop against which Women and Work analyses a wide range of issues from what counts for 'work' to the economic contribution of women to how gendering of work has many significant and related consequences.<br/><br/>The introduction talks of how oppression faced by wage-earning women is the result of patriarchal norms and capitalist relations of production. It also demonstrates how policies and programmes anchored around data based on national income accounts and/or labour force surveys seriously disadvantage women in more ways than one.<br/><br/>Divided into four sections, the articles focus on women engaged in varied work-paddy-growers in West Bengal, beedi-rollers in Tamil Nadu, lace workers in Andhra Pradesh and bar dancers in Maharashtra-all of whom live and work in dismal conditions, and earn paltry incomes.
