Description
Women’s Work in the Unorganised Sector offers a comprehensive analysis of the beedi (hand-rolled cigarette) industry in India, focusing on the systemic exploitation of women workers. Rekha Pande explores how globalization and economic restructuring have shaped working conditions, wages, and labor rights in this largely unregulated sector.
The book addresses crucial issues including gender discrimination, poverty wages, unsafe working conditions, and the lack of social security protections. Pande examines the intersection of gender, class, and economic development, revealing how women in the unorganized sector remain marginalized despite their significant economic contributions.
Drawing on extensive research and fieldwork, this study provides valuable perspectives on labor issues, workers’ rights, and the need for policy interventions. It is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and activists concerned with labor justice, women’s economic rights, and the social impacts of globalization in developing countries.
