Answers
Explanation:
Women in rural India play a dual role--producers of goods and services as well as their domestic chores and wives and mothers--yet their contribution to economic development has been neglected. This study aimed to assess the socioeconomic conditions of 200 rural women respondents from the villages of Makanpur (100 women) and Varsaitpur (100 women). In terms of general household activities, women were found to contribute 73% of the labor in Makanpur and 70% in Varsaitpur. Women's contributions were greater in the Scheduled Castes and among Muslims. In terms of agricultural activities, women contributed 40% in Makanpur (66% of agricultural labor) and 40% in Varsaitpur (59% of agricultural labor). Taken together, women's contribution to economic activities was 52% in Makanpur--the less prosperous village--and 49% in Varsaitpur--the village more influenced by technology. The problems most often cited by survey respondents included health, malnutrition, repeated childbearing, and education. If women's participation in economic development is to be enhanced, women must receive the following services: training in income generating activities, easy access to low-interest loans, and family planning services to limit childbearing.
