Education, Employment, and Job Preference of Women in Kerala: A micro-level case study

Abstract

The twentieth century has witnessed rapid transformations in labour market structures in both developed and developing countries. The changes have been so dramatic that the work place in these countries is no longer a man’s preserve. Women in large numbers have joined the labour force and taken up paid employment. Though the trend was first visible in Western industrialised nations, many of the developing countries have also witnessed significant growth in female labour force participation.
