Answer :
Education is one of the major determinants of the earning of an individual in the market. As a majority of the women in India have lesser education and lesser skilk than men due to traditional reasons, they are paid less than men or are employed in low paid work.
Another reason is that jobs involving physical labour are entrusted ti men only due to their physique , here women cannot do as much physical work as men.
Women also generally have an additional responsibility of looking after their family and children and so they cannot be as regular as men in their duties.
So, they are often given non critical and low paid work.
