Abstract :

Women may gain equal status or higher status, if they are employed and generating their own income. It has been already proved by many of the studies. Now, many of women are engaged in self–employment of different types. The present study is made to know age, education, advantages of self–employment to women, etc. To collect the primary data totally 500 self–employed women living in slum areas were interviewed. It was found that majority of the respondents are getting economic independence, social equality, but still few of the women respondents are deprived from different aspects such as family decision making. The study was also found that the self–employment of women entrepreneurs is also progressive. It is suggested to the Government to form few more welfare schemes for the benefits of women entrepreneurs for their development.
