Less women are found in regular salaried employment due to the following reasons:
- Lack of Education Facilities: Female education is not given due importance in India and hence majority of the women in India do not have the educational qualification and professional skills required for regular salaried employment.
- Discouragement from Family in India: families still do not want the female members to stop out from the house for work especially if it is for long hours as in regular salaried employment.
- Family Responsibilities: Household work and responsibility of children and other family members do not allow the women to devote lime and energy in regular employment.
- Wage Discrimination: Gender based wage discrimination is prevalent in India which demotivates the women in regular salaried employment and they prefer being at home or go for self-employment opportunities.
- Security Issues: Rise in crime against women has also been a reason of women withdrawing from regular employment due to security concerns-Late working hours in private sector firms and MNCs are not found suitable by most of the women.
