Women Empowerment

In the last four decades, there has been a very significant rise in the number of lower middle and middle class women who seek employment to supplementheir house hold income. while there is little doubt that women from the lower ranks of society have always had to work in the fields or in petty jobs to sustain them selves and their families, there were strong objections and a marked reluctance among the middle classes to allow women to step out of the house to earn a living. their basic role continued to be gender- based, as daughters, wives and mothers. much has changed since independence.

Education, greater opportunities for acquiring diverse skills, growing urbanizations, rise in cost of living and growing aspiration for a better standard of living are among the many factors that have led to a continual rise in the number of women who seek a job, whether in the home of out side, in the process, erstwhile prejudices and barriers about women entering certain professions are breaking down.(171)
