What are the factors contributing to job quality deterioration despite increased women participation in the Indian workforce
Jairam Ramesh highlights wage fall and job quality deterioration despite more women joining the workforce.
- Gender pay gap: Women in India often earn less than their male counterparts for the same work, leading to wage fall and lower job quality.
- Lack of access to quality education and training: Many women entering the workforce may not have the same educational opportunities or skills training as men, impacting their job prospects and quality.
- Gender discrimination: Discriminatory practices and biases in the workplace can hinder women's advancement, resulting in lower job quality despite their participation.
- Unpaid care work burden: Women often have to balance paid employment with unpaid care work at home, affecting their job quality and ability to advance in their careers.
- Lack of supportive policies: Inadequate support for maternity leave, childcare facilities, and flexible work arrangements can also contribute to job quality deterioration for women in the Indian workforce.
