Question
Compared to woman, more men are found working in India. Why?
Solution
In India about 70 percent of the workers are men and the rest are women.
Women workers are one-third of the rural workforce. Women carry out works like cooking, fetching water and fuel-wood and participate in farm labour. They are not paid wages in cash or in the form of grains or they are not paid at all. For this reason these women are not categorized as workers. Some economists argue that these women must be considered as workers and their contribution should be included in national product as their services are valuable.
