This article elaborates on women's employment in urban and rural areas and in the public and private sectors.
Issues discussed here include literacy, skill, and legal support for female workers and housewives.
Most discussions held so far on employment have not made a specific mention of women's employment. Women's employment rate in industrialised countries stands at 40 percent. In most productive, industrial and service-related establishments, having an education, and sometimes a skill, is a must, because in such establishments robots are employed to do the raw work and therefore there is no need for large numbers of unskilled manpower. For urban women, who are employed in service-related and industrial sectors, being educated or skilled is a prerequisite. This type of employment is prevalent in rural areas of the country.
