landless women labourer
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Different aspects of female labour, which form a significant part of the total labour force are yet to be analysed although women’s studies had long been identified as a major thrust area of research. It is very important to know the dynamics of female labour force in a restructuring agrarian economy, more so in the case of India having sharp regional differences.We focus the neutrality of technology and gender. Female agricultural labour and female family labour are the two categories on which the impact of technology is explored under different agro-climatic conditions within Andhra Pradesh. The time allocation of women in agriculture, however, shows that the line between the waged and unwaged activities of a woman often becomes blurred.
Most of the unwaged activity is of expenditure saving type, such as collection of wood, fetching water, child care, and dairying and allied activities. Class, caste and gender in concrete situations have been analysed providing a potential for better understanding of the problem.
The study spans almost the whole of Andhra Pradesh and, perhaps this breadth of analysis somewhat hinders the depth of analysis. Yet, the study gives several insights for further investigations. Researchers interested in gender studies will find the book helpful.
The main thrust of work has been to examine the effect of the seed-fertilizer package on various aspects of women’s labour, waged or unwaged. We have also examined the level of development of a region, its cropping pattern, labour absorption; labour organisation wage payments and other related aspects because she feels that the levels of development of the three regions of the State of Andhra Pradesh she chose for the study are not the same.They find it impossible to manage other household chores along with such contractual work. Also the nature of the work demands only able-bodied persons. In their own words, if they work as contract labour for two days they have to rest for four days. Thus, it seems that even though in the contract system earning is much higher, women cannot take full advantage of it.
It has been claimed that the very existence of the discrimination against women in the labour market is as prevalent after the introduction of HYV technology as it was before. Though division of work by gender is not fixed for all regions and times, the historical division of labour precludes women from entering into high productivity work
