WOMAN AND EMPLOYMENT

The present paper discusses woman and employment from globalized perspective and the condition of working women. Though woman was assigned a position of divinity during Aryan period, she was deprived of her independence. She was made to be a parasite on her father, husband and son in patriarchal society. The days of traditional and religious barrier are lifted due to globalization. Today, woman has started working outside home to fulfill the familial necessities. Over the past two decades, there has been a massive influx of women into the workforce in every region in the world. First, we need to build a gender-sensitive environment. We cannot hope to address challenges related to women and work without taking into account the wider situation and the need to secure respect for women’s fundamental rights in general. For real equality, unpaid domestic work needs to be legitimized and given due recognition. Only then can we expect equal participation in the workforce, and in the household.
