Debating Outcomes for “Working” Women: Illustrations from India

Women's work in developing economies, such as India, does not necessarily present an opportunity to fight poverty. On the contrary, though women are contributing enormously to the social and economic product at national and global levels, they remain at the bottom in the hierarchy of power and rewards in the work place. The primary thesis of this article is that there is a need to examine women's association with work beginning from the point of accessing work to its outcome on women's well-being and identity. The article proposes examining work as a key variable in place of gender, while undertaking examination of women and work relationships across occupational sectors. In doing so, the article reinforces the need to identify the right research questions to address issues of structural inequality and divergence in outcomes for working women's well-being.
