Question

why are women employed in low paid work

Answer 1

There is no gainsaying that women are generally employed in low paid work as compared to men. The reasons of the same are as follows:
    Education is one of the major determinants of the earning of an individual in the market. As majority of the women have meager education so they are paid less than men. 

    Along with education, skill is also an important determinant which affects the pay of an individual. Women are generally unskilled so they are employed in low paid work. 

    It is also a fact that women can not do as much physical work as men can do. So naturally they are paid less than men. 

    Women have generally an additional responsibility of bringing up their family and children and so they can not be as regular as men in their duties. Hence, they are employed in low paid work and paid less as compared to men.
