| Summary, etc | Women play an important role in sustaining the weaving industry in India. However, their labour is often overlooked in economic surveys and intra-household dynamics. Using primary cross-sectional data, this paper illustrates the prevalence and persistence of unpaid labour in the production realm of the weaving industry among two generations of women in the same household. Drawing from a mixed-methods research conducted on 364 weaver households in Varanasi, the study argues that women empowerment is closely tied to financial independence, and hence, gender-sensitive policies that recognise and remunerate women’s labour are essential. - Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/21/special-articles/why-should-i-get-paid.html |
