Invisible Workforce: Women Working in Unorganised Sector

Abstract

India has been male dominant society from so many decades. Later on women started standing on their own feets whether by force or by choice and there are many reasons behind  such. The unorganized sector comprises an important part of India’s economy, employing a large workforce that often remains outside the purview of formal labor laws and social securi]ty. Within this sector, women workers form an ‘invisible workforce’, contributing extensively to household income, yet they experience negletion in terms of identification, protection and other benefits. This study seeks to explore their current conditions and challenges of women engaged in unorganized sector occupations. Primary data will be collected through structured questionnaires from women workers of selected unorganized sector.
