Description
India opted for liberalization during 90"s in anticipation that it would contribute a lot to the country"s development scenario. Since its inception, India"s GDP growth has been showing a spectacular rate.It is therefore, expected that this GDP growth must have some impact on the life and livelihood of the people, especially on the non-privileged ones. It is argued that liberalization introduces mechanization in almost all the fields there by leading to closer of traditional industries. Consequently, a huge level of unemployment was created among the unskilled/semi-skilled men and this incidence forced women to join the job market to a large extent for family sustenance. However, women are mainly concentrated in the informal sector for unskilled jobs. These women are in fact facing ruthless hardship because of excessive physical labour outside home in addition to the household duties and the oppression therein. In this backdrop, based on NFHS 3 (2005-06) data, present studyis an endeavour towards gauging the nature and extent of the quality of life of Indian women, and locates the determinants of the said quality of life
