women and economic resources
THOUGH WOMEN CONTRIBUTE substaintially to the economics of the family both by way of services rendered and wages earned , yet their potential is not duly recognised and very little attention is paid to involve them directly with developmental activities and enable them to become more effective and productive. In India,agriculture still provide 42% to 45% of gross domestic product and engages 68% of the working population. Of this latter figures again anything between 20 to 50 % depending upon the part of the country are working women, whose wages value of labour is either outright denied to women or squeezed out of reckoning or is fixed at much lower rates than for males even for equal or morenarduous physical labour like sowing or transplanting or hoeing. Some minimum education ts necessary for women to assimilate the of health care progammes, nutrition and diet , norms and values of scarce economic resources and adoption to simple technology to perform some of the routine agricltural tasks more effectively.
