| Summary, etc |
Given the changing socio-economic milieu in India’s hinterlands, it is critical to understand the role of women’s work as it influences her decision-making power within the household. This is especially so in the case of India’s tribal community as their traditional socio-economic systems are being gradually replaced. While on the one hand, the culturally determined status of women among tribes is being gradually corroded due to social and economic changes, new sources of prestige and empowerment including salaried employment is somewhat beyond the reach of a large proportion of tribal women. This has resulted in women being pushed out or opting out of work in rural areas. This study takes a critical look at the relationship between tribal women’s work and decision-making power within the family using primary data on the Reang tribe of Tripura. Findings suggest women’s productive employment in relatively high paying jobs as solution to retaining high status that grants decision-making power in crucial areas. This necessitates a continuous focus on higher education and vocational training of tribal women that would enable them to enter high productivity sectors in the job marke- Reproduced |
