Chapter 12 in Employment in the Informal Sector in India, 2022, pp 125-130 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Women’s employment has been central to the question of informal employment in the world, particularly in developing countries. Women’s employment has centred around the informal sector which transformed to informal employment or employment without social protection. Informal employment too hosted women to a large extent. Indian employment showed and continued to show the same skewness of mostly women in unprotected, precarious jobs with informality. This chapter analyses the gendered aspect of informality with special emphasis on Indian context.
