More than 40pc of India's women confined to domestic work: report
Women in India depict only 27 percent of the formal labor force, despite recent inspiring statistics of improving literacy rates. Health and nutrition is also being formalized, much so in Bangladesh, which is a diffusion of going one-up on the diminutive status of women in third world countries. This is undoubtedly inspired by the global awareness of the recognition of women and their roles in the community. In India however, domestic household work, a product of historic marginalized attitudes, is still not considered in formal policy. Working 10 times more than men at unpaid work, considering household compensated productivity would contribute US $300 bn to India annually. However, much like Bangladesh, many challenges remain, to liberate women and shine a light of success towards their gender.
Women's economic footprints are growing
Delightful news, in contrast, where women-led households have been noticed to multiply six-folds, in the last decade in Bangladesh. From around 62 thousand, it stood at 3.63 lakh in 2013.
