Certain real problems are faced by all categories of Indian women
India which force them quit jobs after marriage and child birth. It
is true that , majority of Indian women will not sacrifice motherhood for the
sake of economic empowerment as is happening in some other nations. But at the same time , in recent
years ,their mind set has undergone a tremendous transformation regarding the need to be economically independent . Even a
domestic help is proud of her earning and
doesn’t want to give it up easily. But
,they are pushed into enforced idleness after marriage and child birth due to
the break up of the joint family system, absence of flexi time and part time
jobs and work from home opportunities .
Dearth of good quality baby and child care facilities and the non practice of
division of house hold work in Indian families and the transportation
hurdles add to their enforced idleness
.
Today’ s women have tasted the
benefits of financial independence such as, the ability to face challenges of
life without depending on relatives, a
feeling of self worth , possibility to enhance the standard of living of the
family , the satisfaction of reaping the benefits of their knowledge and skill
gained through education and good health
status and their ability to achieve their life goals . If a
favorable work environment is created by
the job givers ,the female work participation in India
and women resource contribution to GNP would
be higher
