Subscribe/Renew Journal
In India, women constitute nearly half of the total population. But it can often be observed that the status of women is much lower than that of men in every sphere of life. Women are assumed as some beings confined to domestic life while working in order to earn is considered masculine in nature and so earning is mostly a male-dominated public activity. With the passage of time, this fact has now been recognized that without ensuring the development of women, the national development can't be achieved. Women's equal participation in activities of earning a livelihood plays a pivotal role in the general process of the betterment of women.
