A Study on the Socio Economic Status of Women Labourers in the Unorganized Sector in Trichirappalli City Corporation

Most of the women start their life in the unorganized sector. Even if they lose their financial support in the family they have to find a source of living in the society which again makes them enter into the unorganized sector. These women have to work long hours in the poor working conditions of the unorganized sector and also work in the house, raising their children and domestic chores without any help from the male gender. Women find a biggest source of employment opportunities in the unorganized sector. Most of the women work for fewer wages because of illiteracy, poverty, ignorance and less or no skills. Unorganized sector provides opportunities to generate employment and earn money to socially backward women in the city. The women labourers from in and around the city engage themselves in this sector for the generation of income. Though the unorganised sector provides low income to the women labourers, it is being the source for the living of the women labourers. The research has been undertaken to learn the socio economic status of women labourers in the unorganized sector
