  • Abstract:
  • The unorganized sector plays an important role in creating opportunities for gainful employment, especially in developing countries, which are generally abundant in labour. The Eleventh Five Year Plan stressed that the unorganized manufacturing sector holds the promise of large-scale job creation and could thus be a panacea for the burgeoning Indian labour force. The relationship between the stability of the nation and the condition of women can be understood by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's famous quote, "You can tell a nation's condition by looking at the status of its women." India is a traditional country and there is diversity in religions, culture and customs. Women's role in India is mostly domestic and limited to household issues. Women's role in India is mostly domestic and limited to household issues. Female workers make up India's largest unorganized workforce group. Majority of women work in unorganized sectors for low wages due to low level of skills, illiteracy, ignorance and surplus labour and thus face high level of exploitation. Women's social and economic profile is greatly affected by the nature of where they work in the industrial sector.
