Women and Employment in Textile Industries

Dr. S. S. Vijayanchali, Dr. E. Arumuga Gandhi

Abstract :

Any discussion on working women touches on the fundamental question of the plight of women in employment in which they are working. Women find employment both in public and private sectors due to the growth of industrialisation and urbanisation. However, their employment is characterised by a high incidence of casual labour; intermittent jobs; and are provided extremely low wages. Women employment in spinning mills is in existence for more than two decades now. In other words, textile mills are being an attractive destination for job seeking women. The fact that the employers think that it is not wise to recruit men on permanent basis, as an alternate they seek women so that the employers do not have to take labour welfare responsibilities. Therefore, women working in industries are almost excluded from the umella of the social benefits and remain the victims of ‘hire and fire’ policy
