30. Among the many gender issues related to different dimensions, one issue
is economy. There are programmes on television, radio and various other
forms discussing the equality of men and women in terms of socio-cultural
and economic aspects. Women contribute to the family in different roles,
i.e., as mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. Since work at home is not
monetized, it is not considered ‘work’. In all regions, women spend at least
twice as much time as men on unpaid domestic work.
Moreover, the women who work outside the home suffer from gender
discrimination in terms of they may not get their choice of work often
disadvantaged compared to men in access to employment opportunities
and conditions of work.
Different surveys conducted by organizations and State point out that—

(1) female workers are far lesser in number across all types of workers;

(2) women are the maximum in the category of marginal workers in rural
areas;

(3) this means that though women are counted as workers, they may not
be regularly employed throughout the year. This may be due to
agrarian crises, part-time jobs in urban area among other socio-
economic factors. It was in the year 1981 Census of India, the total
population was classified into three broad sections. Main workers,
marginal workers and non-workers. However, in the 1991 Census,
unpaid workers on farms and family enterprises were added to
capture women’s economic activities more realistically.
