Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Women in the Economy: Understanding Work, Welfare and Economic Power explore the diverse and often invisible ways in which women contribute to economic and social development. Focusing particularly on India, the book examines women's participation in paid and unpaid work, occupational composition, labour markets and the changing nature of employment. It explores unpaid domestic and care work, highlighting how women's invisible labor sustains households and economies despite often remaining outside conventional measures of economic activity. The book also examines women and migration, including the opportunities and vulnerabilities associated with economic and social mobility, alongside the serious issue of women's trafficking and exploitation. The impact of globalization on women's employment, economic opportunities and inequalities is analyzed, balancing its empowering possibilities with emerging challenges. The book further examines welfare schemes and social protection for women, assessing their role in improving economic security, education, employment, entrepreneurship and empowerment.
