Women’s employment & its effect on household in India
P. Gunasundari
July 2007
Some 20 to 25 years ago, women are not allowed to come out from their house even to the door steps. But, now they didn’t get time to be at leisure in their house, they were engaged with outside work.
We have lots of BPOs want women employees for Telemarketing, Customer Care jobs everywhere. So, employmentwise it is good.
Economically Weaker Side
90% of economically weaker side people allow their wives or daughters to work. Here the earning of the female in the family will be very much helpful to make the economic problem solved.
If their daughters got married and also want need to continue the job after marriage also, it will lead to many family problems. Not only in middle class but also in upper middle class families the same kind of problems will happen. For example,
• If the girl came late from office
• If she got any phone call from her colleague, etc.
These kind of problems will unnecessarily arise, but in her case she needs to work. Any way we can say that she can share the economic problem of the family onside, she has to bear the scolding from the manager at the office and from mother-in-law or husband.
We are not telling that females from economically strong side people were allowed to work, first thing, they didn’t ask permission from the elders to work whether they can go for this job just for their pocket money and for the time pass they were going for job. Especially in night shift jobs in call centres they can earn more. This type of jobs and the timings allow their mind to think wrong. For relaxation they were going to
• Discothe
• Consuming drugs
Their parents may not have time to think about their daughters. Here it is not necessary for her to work. It is not going to improve their economic status or anything like that.
So, women can work if she needs to work. If she is going to involve in bad habits, that will create unwanted problems.
