This document discusses the challenges faced by working women in Pakistan. It identifies 3 categories of working women based on their socioeconomic status and the restrictions they face. Women across all categories face gender discrimination, domestic responsibilities, harassment, lower pay, lack of support for married/working mothers, and traditional attitudes that limit their career opportunities and mobility. Recommendations include enforcing laws against harassment, providing family-friendly policies, ensuring equal pay, addressing transportation issues, and changing social norms and stereotypes.
This document discusses women in the workforce. It notes that women now make up about a third of the global labor force except in Northern Africa and Western Asia. The document outlines some advantages of women working, such as helping support their families financially or gaining independence, but also notes potential disadvantages like balancing work with childcare responsibilities or facing discrimination. It provides some statistics on women workers globally and concludes by arguing that while home responsibilities are important, women should not be forced to leave their jobs or denied the right to career advancement.

Women have long participated in work, but their roles changed with industrialization. In colonial America, gender roles were more fluid and work was shared. The industrial era separated work and home, reducing women's social visibility. Today, over half of women work for pay, though gender biases still exist. Women face wage gaps, occupational segregation, challenges balancing work and family, and pressure from traditional gender roles. Individual choices and support systems can help maximize women's opportunities and well-being in the workplace.
This document provides an overview of women's careers in India. It discusses how women have increasingly entered the workforce out of financial necessity for their families. While social attitudes have progressed, women still only make up 32% of the total working population and hold few corporate jobs. The document then outlines some of the key challenges faced by working women, such as mental harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, safety issues, and lower pay compared to men. It proposes solutions like increasing women's education, social awareness campaigns, and making legal systems more accessible. Finally, it recognizes several famous successful businesswomen and careers that have helped empower women in India.

LHBS constantly collects signs of changing behavior in culture, markets, and technology. One of the key demographics involved in these changes is young women.
Through researching what is driving values and decisions– and therefore needs– of young women today, some of the most significant factors at play are perhaps found in their prevailing attitudes towards work and career.
We would like to share some of our research into the work and career of young women, which explores several important trends and trajectories of this important demographic, and offers some of the implications for businesses looking to establish a working environment where young women feel not only valued, but also positively challenged.

According to the document:
- Crimes against women are prevalent in India, with a woman being raped every 20 minutes. 10% of crimes committed are against women.
- Education and economic participation of women remains low, with only 39.5% being economically active compared to 80% in China.

Women hesitate to start their own businesses for several reasons. In many cultures, women face restrictions from starting a business independently or without their husband's permission. Traditionally, women's roles were seen as only fulfilling domestic duties. Poverty also prevents many women from gaining an education or experience needed to start a business. Lack of access to financing is another major barrier. However, as social norms have changed in some places, more women now seek independence and economic opportunities through entrepreneurship.
The document discusses women entrepreneurship in India. It notes that while women make up 50% of the population, traditionally they have been confined to household activities. However, modern society has allowed women to participate in all areas of life, including entrepreneurship. In India, 14.1% of entrepreneurs are women. The government defines a women entrepreneur as having a minimum 51% financial interest and employment of their business. However, growth of women entrepreneurship in Kerala has been slow due to unfavorable family backgrounds, lack of business education, and dual roles of women. Common problems women entrepreneurs face include lack of financing, raw materials, marketing facilities, and family responsibilities.

Working women face many challenges both at home and in the workplace. At work, they experience discrimination such as being denied promotions or equal pay. They also face safety issues like harassment and lack of security working late hours. At home, working women struggle to balance their job responsibilities with household duties. They are still primarily expected to manage childcare and chores. Additionally, male ego can create disturbances as some men have difficulty accepting a woman's career achievements or progress. Overall, societal mindsets need to change to support greater empowerment, equality, and fair treatment of working women.

There is a need to be more conscious towards the women aspects, to balance the overly masculine,
intellectual approach to lines that is very much dominant. We have been closing our eyes the root cause of the
stresses faced by women. Today, most of the women are doing jobs. But women find it difficult to maintain
balance between work and family. In order for women to become successful and independent, they need to be
satisfied. Women like men have every right to feel secure, confident and happy and to be participate actively in
the mainstream of a nation, in solving all the problems of society and nation at every level. A joint effort of
women themselves and that of the society and the nation is urgently needed in order to cope with the challenges
posed due to recent changes in the attitude and role of women of twenty first century

Socio-Economic Status Of Working Women In NalgondaKam Raju
Socioeconomic status (SES) is an economic and sociological combined total measure of a person's work experience and of an individual's or family's economic and social position in relation to others.
When analysing a family's SES, the household income, earners' education, and occupation are examined, as well as combined income, whereas for an individual's SES only their own attributes are assessed.
However, SES is more commonly used to depict an economic difference in society as a whole.
The document discusses women's unpaid household work and its invisibility in economic terms. It notes that while women constitute half the world's population and two-thirds of the workforce, they receive only 10% of world income and 1% of wealth. It argues that women's household activities like childcare, cooking and cleaning should be considered work but are not recognized or remunerated. The invisibility of this work is due to economic definitions that only consider activities done in exchange for pay as "work". The document examines feminist perspectives on recognizing and valuing women's unpaid labor in the home.
The document summarizes some of the social problems faced by women in India. It discusses that while India has seen significant progress, women still face many challenges from birth until death. Some of the key problems mentioned are increasing crimes against women like rape and domestic violence, female feticide due to preference for male children, discrimination against girls in terms of access to food, education and career opportunities, health issues faced by women, practices of child marriage and dowry, and difficulties faced by working women in balancing their professional and domestic responsibilities. The document also outlines some legal protections and rights that have been established for women after independence.
The document discusses women's empowerment, equality, and security in India. It notes that empowering women does not mean antagonizing men, but that both genders need to understand each other's needs. It states that opening more vocational training institutes could help unemployed or illiterate women gain skills and earn livelihoods. The concept of "Each One Teach One" is introduced, implying that educated individuals should teach others to increase awareness. Challenges to implementing women's empowerment programs like cultural restrictions and discrimination are also outlined. Overall, the document advocates for initiatives like vocational training, literacy programs, and employment opportunities to economically and socially empower women in India.
This document discusses women empowerment. It begins by defining women empowerment and explaining why it is important. Historically, empowerment efforts date back to the 1970s international women's movement. The main problems facing women include lack of education, financial constraints, and family responsibilities. Efforts to achieve empowerment focus on education, self-employment, health, and legal rights. Examples of government schemes to promote empowerment are also provided. The document concludes by highlighting some notable women who have worked to empower women across different fields such as education, health, and self-reliance.
The document summarizes the findings of a group project on women empowerment conducted by students of Pawar Public School. The group assigned roles, created a questionnaire and survey, interviewed women from different backgrounds, and discussed their views on topics like education, employment, traditional knowledge, property rights, and treatment in the workplace. They found that while women's status and opportunities have improved in urban areas due to education campaigns, rural women still face restrictions and prefer traditional roles. Overall, the group concluded that while gender equality has progressed, women are not completely equal to men and deserve equal freedom and respect in society.
The document discusses the occupational health issues faced by women workers, particularly in developing countries like India. It notes that women often work "double shifts" between domestic duties and outside employment. Their work is often invisible and undervalued. Women face numerous health risks at work due to factors like poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, and sociocultural norms. Occupational hazards disproportionately impact women due to their reproductive roles and smaller physical stature. comprehensive occupational health programs and data are needed to address the urgent issues faced by women workers.

It also outlines some strategies for managing work-life balance, like scheduling tasks. Additionally, it notes some challenges faced by working women, such as unshared domestic responsibilities and lack of control over their own income. Finally, the document concludes that work-life balance programs aim to provide employees flexibility to balance work and personal responsibilities.
Family and Social Support System for facilitating Women’s Work Participation ...hemurathore1
The relationship between female labor force participation and economic development is far more complex than often portrayed in both the academic literature and policy debates. Due to various economic and social factors, such as the pattern of growth, education, attainment, and social norms, trends in female labor force participation do not conform consistently with the nation of a U- shaped relationship with GDP. Beyond participation rates, policymakers need to focus on improving women’s access to quality employment.
The document discusses gender bias and the need for men to change traditional ideologies. It notes that India ranks low in happiness rankings due to a lack of women's empowerment. There is a strong preference for sons over daughters in many countries including India. This has led to issues like low sex ratios, high maternal and infant mortality rates, and less access to resources and healthcare for women. The document proposes that tackling issues related to women's education, employment, environment and empowerment (the "WEEEEP" issues) could help address these problems. It argues that the government, organizations, schools, doctors and society, including men, need to work towards empowering women and changing mindsets.

Women now play an important role in Cambodian society beyond just being housewives. They participate in family life by taking care of children and managing household duties. They also contribute to the economy by having jobs or businesses and help reduce poverty. Educating and training women gives them skills and confidence to take on more responsibilities. Women are increasingly involved in social, political and community affairs, and discrimination against them is being reduced. The role of women in Cambodia has greatly improved but further progress is still needed.
The document discusses International Women's Day 2018 and focuses on rural women activists working to transform women's lives. It notes that rural women make up over a quarter of the world's population and a majority of the global agricultural workforce. However, rural women and their organizations still need to claim their rights and improve livelihoods and well-being. The UN theme for 2018 is "Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives," highlighting the work of rural women activists.
Gender inequality creating a significant income gapRebeccaFerby
This document discusses factors that contribute to the gender wage gap, including occupational segregation, lack of women in unions, and women taking time away from work to care for families. It also examines how women's education levels relate to the wage gap. While women now surpass men in post-secondary education, they remain underrepresented in high-paying fields like STEM and face barriers to promotion. The wage gap can be explained by the devaluation of work traditionally done by women and differences in work experience between men and women. Solutions proposed to address the gap include improving laws and promoting balanced hiring.
Gender inequality- Creating a Significant income gapRebeccaFerby
This document summarizes factors that contribute to the gender wage gap, including women occupying lower-paying jobs, lack of seniority due to time spent caring for families, and underrepresentation in unions. It also discusses how women have surpassed men in post-secondary education but remain underrepresented in high-paying STEM fields. Two common theories for the wage gap are presented: that women's work is devalued, and that differences in human capital like experience and training explain disparities. The document advocates for policies and awareness to promote equal opportunities and pay for equal work regardless of gender.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

4. INTRODUCTION
The financial demands on the Indian families are
becoming raise day by day. The sky rocketing cost of
living, increasing expenses on education of children,
increasing cost of housing properties in India, force
every family in India to look for ways and means of
increasing the household income.
Women in India who were mostly known as
homemakers are forced to go for jobs and take up
even careers that were considered only suitable for
men such as working in night shifts in call centers.

11. Problems faced by working women
We all talk of gender equality, woman
empowerment and female education; but
how far it has achieved in reality? Coming
this far, evolving, civilizing, modernizing;
the lot of women is very less changed in
reality.
A woman plays so many roles (of daughter,
sister, wife, daughter-in-law, mother…)
and for ages has been a multi-tasker ; one
who cook food, does the domestic works,
raises kids, and cares for everyone.
She works 24X7, never complains and asks
no remuneration.
Inequalities in wages.

13. Discrimination at Work
Discrimination starts at the very level of recruitment
and interview, where recruiters/interviewers see
women incompetent for challenging roles and ask
questions like whether you would be able to continue
after marriage ?
Challenges to Safety, Life and Dignity
Sexual harassment, theft, molestation, eve-teasing,
etc. are some of the forms of challenges working
women face to their safety, life and dignity.
Source : Indian Journal of Social Work
14. Non-acceptance of Talent,
Offered Disrespect!
A woman going out to work in many societies in seen very
lowly and questioned about her character/moral.
A working woman who is beautiful or well-maintained or
presentable or is friendly with everyone and is progressing in
her career instead of being complimented is disrespected and
disgusted; is questioned/remarked on her dignity and morals.
15. Family Duties
In today’s modern era, even after working in the
corporate world and after taking up challenging roles of
executives/directors/marketing professional/IT
professionals, etc.; the age old image of a woman of
being a home-maker is not much changed.
Even if she works, comes home tired/has to leave early
for office; she is expected to cook food, take care of
kids and all other household duties and the male
counterparts may volunteer but they hold no
responsibilities.
16. Juggling Between Work, Home, Relationships
and Personal Life
Amid all the dilemma and stretch of balancing the job
responsibilities, following her passion, going ahead with her
aspirations and looking after her family-kids-husband; a woman
handles and balances a big lot of stress, which deprives her of
peace, rest, sleep, independent though and luxury to be herself
Ego of Male Counterpart
One of the most tough to handle challenges is to manage and cope
with the ego of your male counterpart as wife/partner.
Males do support women to go out and work, but somewhere
they find it hard to accept the progress and achievement of women
whether she is his colleague or life partner.
17. Low Dignity and No Ownership of
Her Own Earning
Mostly women are not seen as independent earners,
who command respect and dignity. Instead is seen as
a small back-wheel of a heavy vehicle and thus, her
role and contribution is mostly over looked.
In most of the families, especially middle class,
upper middle class and lower middle class; it’s seen
that the income of the woman either goes in the hands
of her father or husband, rather than in her hands.
18. Sexual Harassment
Every single day a woman when steps out, stays out whole day working
while travelling, in office, in field, in canteen, in outdoor meetings…;
directly/indirectly she is subjected to a lot of sexual abuses and
harassment.
It’s not always with hands she is hurt, but she is attacked and hurt with
eyes, with tongue, with gestures and of course unfortunately physically.
A few women wave off, ignore and move on; some disgust them to the
very soul, out there is no way out so with tears or suppressed anger they
move on; while some root off their dignity and even existence.
19. Safety of Working Women While Travelling
Typically, the orthodox mindset in the Indian society
makes it difficult for a working woman to balance her
domestic environment with the professional life.
In some families, it may not be acceptable to work after
six o’clock. Those families that do accept these working
hours may experience considerable anxiety every day
about a woman’s safety while traveling. So many issues
affect a working woman because she is closely protected or
watched by her family and the society.
According to survey conducted by ASSOCHAM, on 1000
women professionals, around 80 per cent of the households
expect their daughters-in-law to prioritize household
requirements over the official work.
20. Cont…

psychologically abused, by their in-laws and husband
but they do not complain or let others know about it,
particularly if they have children

employment of women in certain establishments for
certain periods before and after child-birth and
provides maternity benefits. The Building and Other
Constructions (Regulation of Employment and
Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 provides for
maternity benefit to female beneficiaries of the
Welfare Fund.
28. Protection of Women against Domestic
Violence Act (PWDVA)
• Laws under the Indian Penal Code (IPC)
• Dowry Prohibition Act: any property or valuable (direct
or indirect) given before, at or after the marriage
• Section 304B: Death of a woman within 7 years of her
marriage

woman to cruelty (“intentional” behaviour that causes
serious injury or harassment for dowry)
• Section 376: Rape law
• Section 294: Obscene acts and songs
• Section 354: Intent to outrage a woman’s modesty
29. SUGGESTIONS
Women should be educated. When she is educated, she can manage
her dual responsibility of home and work.
Women should be made aware of their constitutional and legal rights
both in their work and in the social sphere.
The attitude of the husband and family members should be changed
towards the working women. Husband should come forward to
share her burden.
She should be given financial freedom.
Wage gap between men and women should be eliminated.
Women should change their attitude about themselves. They should
be self confident in their approach.
More seminars, conferences and workshops on women should be
organized. They should be encourage to participate in them and
express their views.
(Yojana, March 2020)
30. Conclusion
Women don’t know their rights properly .
It’s time for people to change their thinking about
working women. They should be treated equivalent to
a working man.
