Opis

The work of women in South Asia often remains invisible in official statistics and development research. This is partly due to the inadequacy of the national data systems and partly because existing sociocultural constraints restrict women's participation in economic activities outside the domain of the family. The pattern of female labour participation in South Asia has a distinct spatial dimension which cannot be explained in terms of economic rationale alone; the region-specific context defining women's roles remains vitally important.
