Abstract:
Women workers in India face a variety of challenges, influenced by cultural, social, economic, and structural factors. These challenges hinder their full participation in the workforce, limit their economic and social empowerment and perpetuate gender-based disparities in employment. Women have been trying to break away from norms and standards set by society. They have been marching for equal rights and fighting for their rightful place in the world. Women have played just as important a role in the shaping of human history as men have. Higher status for women in terms of employment and work performed in society is, in reality, a key measure of a country’s overall growth. There are numerous reasons and issues that have compelled Indian women to work. The financial pressures on Indian families are growing by the day. In India, the cost of life, expenses for children’s education, and the cost of housing properties have all increased, forcing every family to look for ways to supplement their income. As a result, women in India who were previously known for being homemakers are being driven to do employment that is more acceptable for men, such as working even in night shift. Working women, or those who work for a living, confront challenges at work just because they are women. Due to the fact that they are female, the public perception of women’s roles lags far behind the law. The assumption that women are only suitable for specific tasks leads to discrimination among those who work with them. Employees should be recruited. As a result, women can readily find work as nurses, doctors, teachers, secretaries, or in other fields. Even when well-qualified women are available, a male candidate with equal qualifications is given preference. Gender bias poses a barrier during the recruitment process. Even while the law declares equality in remuneration, it is not always followed. The ingrained belief that women are incapable of doing difficult work and are less effective than males has an impact on the payment of differential salaries and compensation for the same job.
