Women Workers in Informal Sector in India: Understanding the Occupational Vul...Dr Lendy Spires
Unorganised or informal sector constitutes a pivotal part of the Indian economy. More than 90 per cent of workforce and about 50 per cent of the national product are accounted for by the informal economy. A high proportion of socially and economically underprivileged sections of society are concentrated in the informal economic activities [1]. Informal employment is generally a larger source of employment for women than for men in the developing world. Other than in North Africa where 43 per cent of women workers are in informal employment, 60 per cent or more of women workers in the developing world are in informal employment(outside agriculture).
In sub-Saharan Africa 84 per cent of women non-agricultural workers; in Latin America 58 per cent for women in comparison to 48 percent for men. In Asia, the proportion of women and men non-agricultural workers in informal employment is roughly equivalentto Women and Men in the Informal Economy [2].The informal economy in India employs about 86 per cent of the country’s work force and 91 per cent of its women workers [3]. Many of these women workers are primary earners for their families. Their earnings are necessary for sheer survival. Low income women workers, especially in the informal sectorform one of the most vulnerable groups in the Indian economy.
The reasons for their vulnerability are-(a) irregular work, (b) low economic status, (c) little or no bargaining power, (d) lack of control over earnings, (e) need to balance paid work with care for children and homework, (f) little or no access to institutional credit, training and information, and (g) lack of assets. Unequal gender relations play a very important role in defining their insecurities. Given their vulnerable status at home and at work, income generation alone may not improve the socio-economic status of women attached to the informal sector. Their economic empowerment needs to go along with political empowerment, which could improve their bargaining power both in household and at work.
This means that organizing women workers in the informl economy could have beneficial impacts on their work and their life if such organizationcombines voices representation along with access to resources such as credit and information- a holistic strategy that provides political empowerment allied with economic empowerment.The present study aims at understanding the degree of vulnerabilityof the women workers in informal sector in India.

Graduates Unemployment- A Case of Jalgaon Cityiosrjce
This paper provides a broad overview of the employment situation among graduates which is a major
concern of government and their social partner throughout the region. In India, a stated objective of economic
policy planning is achievement of high rates of growth of the economy and sustained improvement in the
standards of living of people. However, despite impressive economic growth over the years, the situation on
employment front leaves much to be desired. Growing integration of our economy with the global economy has
increased the susceptibility of the economy to the vagaries of global economic forces.
In analyzing the situation, it needs proper understanding of the current situation of unemployment problem
faced by the country at large and also its consequences. With an object to understand the present situation of
unemployment faced by the graduates and also to understand the various causes and consequences of the same,
this research paper is presented as a case study of students of various faculties in Jalgaon City. The
methodology used for this paper is primary data. The research has covered various problems and issues of a
social issue – graduates’ unemployment which include many aspects like health issues which affect physically as
well as psychologically on students’ life, lower economic growth, increased rate of crimes, and suicide as the
last option after facing so many problems.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath
1
INTRODUCTION
Most of the economies of the world suffer from the problem of
unemployment. The problem unemployment in under developed countries
is basically different from that in developed countries. Generally speaking
the term unemployment denotes a condition of joblessness at the current
wage rate. When caused by the in capacity of the economic system, it is
called ‘involuntary unemployment’. In field of economic analysis, the term
unemployment has generally come to mean ‘involuntary unemployment’.
The phenomenon of the unemployment or “surplus labour” is
caused in the Keynesian system due to decline in the effective demand
while in under developed economics it is caused by the low per capita
means of production (i.e., capital and labour). The adoption of inferior
occupation by those who are not able to get employment (at the current
wage rate) such that the marginal productivity in these occupations is
lower than that in the rest of the economy characterizes the phenomenon
disguised unemployment.
Industrial backwardness of the states, together with the limited
scope for absorption of more workers in agriculture and the considerable
dependence on contractual employment, has led to large-scale and
gearing unemployment. Such unemployment is acute among two
categories of the population, agricultural laborers and educated segments,
but it is extensive also among other section of the population.
2. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath

From social point view, unemployment means wastage of the
precious labour resources of the country. For an individual, unemployment
is a painful and demoralizing experience. Employment to be gainful and
sustainable has to be productive in character. Unemployment is a
multidimensional phenomenon in India. It is not restricted to be one sector
or group of population. Instead, it is a wide spread disease touching
almost every segment of the society.
Unemployment is an important problem affecting India. In the Indian
development planning growth was concerned as essential condition for
improving employment opportunities. The recent experience of growth has
not been employment friendly. Various observations made and revealed
that reforms are worsening unemployment situation. The growth of
organised sector is not absorbing growing labour. Even labour force
actually grew at a low rate in the reform period. Labour force growth will
still be higher in the future.
To understand the concept of unemployment it is necessary to
understand the concept of labour force cannot be unemployed. By the
internationally accepted definitions, all persons who are deemed to be in
the labour force. Correspondingly all those who are not working and the
neither seeking nor available for work are considered outside the labour
force and hence do not figure in employment or unemployment. The
growth rate of labour force is determined partly by the age structure of the

population and the sex specific labour force participation rate that can be
expected to obtain.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN KERALA
Unemployment in Kerala has been higher and increasing among
both men and women. Also the problem of unemployment in Kerala is
primarily the problem of educated unemployed among both men and
women. The educated unemployment is very serious and menacing
problem. The rate of unemployment in Kerala is very high, it may also be
pointed out that urban rates of unemployment are far higher than rural
ones and unemployment among female labour force is much above male
labour force. The causes of educated unemployment are defective
educational system with its theoretical bias, ‘educational inflation’, lack of
aptitude and technical qualification to various types of works among job
seekers and the maladjustment between demand and supply of educated
workers.
The number of job seekers in the live registers of employment
exchange in Kerala is pushing at the 38 lakhs. The total number of
educated unemployment youth on the live registers stood at 37.9 lakhs in
2004, a sharp increase of 1.56 lakhs over 1 year. The number of educated
unemployment in the state had shown a remarkable decline between 2002
& 2003 and then sharp increase during the year 2004.
4. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath

A peculiar feature of Kerala’s unemployment situation is that
women out number of men seeking employment through employment
exchange. Especially the incidence unemployment among educated
women more in Kerala. Out of the total registered unemployment job in
Kerala. Out of the total registered unemployment job seekers of 38 lakhs
in Kerala women are 23 lakhs.
The Kerala model of development host of high level of social
development entered among women and children. Though the levels of
educated women have increased over the years the induction of educated
women into employment is limited. The trends of low per capita income
and initiating a high standard of living have led educated to take on the
dual role of home maker and supplemented of family income. Therefore it
becomes necessary to analyze the trends of correlation between
education among women and unemployment.

REVIEW OF THE LITRATURE
Unemployment is the most crucial socio-economic problem in
Kerala. It cannot be explained in a simple way. Studies relating to the
problem of educated unemployment in Kerala are limited.
Mark Bluag, Richard Layard and Mauren Woodhel in their work, in
their work, in causes of unemployment in India (1969) remarks that the
educated unemployment is caused by market imperfections. This
phenomenon is not due to over investment in education. There must be
steps to correct the market imperfections. As a remedy, there must be
active manpower policies. These manpower policies should aim at skill
formation among the educated people.
Gareth Williams, Tessa Blackstone and David Malcalf in their joint
work (The academic labour market economic and social aspects of
profession, 1974) make an opinion that the collection of homogeneous
labour market becomes out of fashion. The labour markets become more
specialized and professional qualifications of various kinds increasingly
becomes necessary condition of entry of all kinds of occupation.
Raj Krishna suggested a few criteria by which a person may be
called unemployed or under employed. According to him, there four major
criteria for which a person may be called unemployed. The first one is time
criterion according to which a person may be called unemployed or under
employed. If he has gainfully occupied during the year for a number of
6. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath
6
hours or days. Dr. Raj Krishna has not specified has to what constitutes
full employment hours or days.
The second one is that of the income criterion. A person is
considered to be unemployed if he earn an income per year less than
some desirable minimum. According to Raj Krishna, the income criterion
can be useful to policy planner in deciding on the employment generating
plan must b given to those who are unemployed and below the poverty
line as well.
The third criterion is that of the willingness criterion. A person may
be called underemployed if he is willing to do more work than he is doing
at present. Such a person may either be actively searching for more work
or be available for more if it is offered to him on terms to which he is
accustomed.
The fourth criterion is the productivity criterion, a person may be
called unemployed or underemployed if he is removable from his present
employment and his removal would not reduce the total output.
STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
Educated unemployment is a burning issue in Kerala. The case
study of Thodiyoor panchayath shows that the problems of Educated
Unemployed Youths have been sufficiently considered.

RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY
The study on unemployment among educated youths. A
case study of ‘Thodiyoor Panchayath’ gains more relevance in the state of
Kerala due to the high literacy rate obtained among the other Indian
states. However the state Govt. is unable to generate sufficient
employment opportunities for this section of the population leading ‘to
brain drain in the economy.
Hence, this study focused an examining the level of unemployment
among the educated youth of the Thodiyoor Panchayath and to study the
role played by SHG and the schemes formulated by the Panchayath for
providing employment opportunities.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To examine the level of the employment among thee educated
youths in Thodiyoor Panchayath.
2. To assess the role of self help group (SHG’s) in the removal of
educated unemployment in the Panchayath.
3. To analyze the various programmes and schemes of the
panchayath for the reducing unemployment.

EDUCATED UNEMPLOYMENT IN KERALA
According to Labour Bureau’s “Third Annual Employment and
Unemployment Survey 2012-2013” released on (November 29, 2013)
unemployment rate amongst illiterate youth is lower than educated youth.
A comparison with the earlier report by labour bureau shows that the
unemployment level among this category has increased during 2012-2013
compared to 2011-2012.
While unemployment rate among illiterate youth is lowest i.e. 3.7%
among the age group 15-29 years at all India level in 2012-2013. The
unemployment rate in the same category was reported to be 1.2% in
2011-2012 report.
Similarly the unemployment among the graduate youth that
happened to be 19.4% in 2011-2012 which increase to 32 percent during
2012-2013. As stated in the report thee unemployment rate amongst the
educated youth reportedly increased with increase in their education level
(amongst all age group viz, 15-24 years, 18-29 years and 15-29 years).
Similarly in rural areas the unemployment rate among graduates
and above for the age group 15-29 years, was 36.6% whereas in urban
areas it was 26.5%.
10. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath
10
Lack of migration is one of the main reasons for the low
employment in rural areas, on employment rate amongst rural youth is
higher because most of adequately skilled ones migrated to urban areas
and successfully get a job while the rest get involved in anything available
that is non permanent.
INDIAN SCENARIO
India’s educated youth’s are facing some serious issues like
educated unemployment and underemployment currently in India. We
have fairly low inflation but unemployment is high in particular, educated
unemployment is very high. It is around 20% among graduates. One
suspects that political instability in the country, lack of entrepreneurship,
lack of quality education and quality students for instance in the result of
excessive unemployment.
Bad education is hurting the economy. Recently Mr. Kapil Sibal has
tried to de-affiliate some of the colleges. Colleges play a very vital role in
making quality standards. If colleges provide quality education the
scenario would be better. There are many private and old Government
Colleges which fail to do this and hence produce less skilled graduate.
Opening of more private engineering colleges are adding fuel to the
unemployment problem.
11. Educated Unemployment- A case study of Thodiyoor Panchayath

EDUCATED UNEMPLOYMENT
A characteristic feature of unemployment in developing countries is
high incidence of unemployment among young and educated people.
Urban unemployment is the lack of job opportunities for the educated
people. The NSSO survey results suggest that the rate of unemployment
is very high among young people belonging to the age group 15-29 years.
Nearly 32.3% of young males and 45.8 of young females are unemployed
in Kerala.

The incidence of unemployment was found very high in the age
group 15-19 years. The incidence of youth unemployment is very high
both in rural and urban areas. More than one third of the young labour
force in rural and urban areas in Kerala is unemployed.
Another characteristic feature of unemployment in developing
countries is high incidence of unemployment among educated people. The
NSSO survey show that one fourth of educated labour force in urban
areas is unemployed based on usual principal status.

CONCLUSION
Educated unemployment in rural area has assumed alarming
proportion in recent times because of the lack of suitable employment
opportunities and lack of satisfactory salaries. The Government are not
interested is the unemployment situation in rural areas.
It is evident from forgoing analysis that the magnitude of
unemployment among the educated is more serious in Thodiyoor
Panchayath. So the Panchayath along with the private sector should
implement sufficient employment opportunities by developing the
agricultural, industrial and territory sector. The unemployment rating in this
Panchayath was higher among the graduated that among persons with
secondary school certificates holders. The Panchayath is organizing multi
various scheme for the eradication of unemployment and few unemployed
group are engaged in antisocial activities and the major suggestion is that
the Panchayath should extend it service hands to the female group. The
lag is perceived for providing employment opportunities. Self employment
service should be strengthening by ensuring more participation of the
people. Panchayath should seriously consider the living condition of the
unemployed people by discouraging from antisocial activities. The
Panchayath should effectively carry out the scheme projects of IRDP,
JRY, and TRYSEM.
The Govt. have adopted several welfare measures for higher
educated people in rural areas and the Govt. is also providing several
suitable job opportunities for higher educated people in rural areas.
