520 _aThe author discusses the impact of reform measures introduced in industry and trade following the liberalisation process with special reference to the informal sector as it is `manned' near totally by the women, who constitute the most fragile component of population of poor in the country. Armed with necessary quantifications, she shows how the characteristic features of these reforms - fiscal deficit, de-emphasis on subsidies, inflation, reduction in allocations to social sectors, restrictions on sans collateral loans - have enhanced hardships of the poor who have been heretofore struggling for survival. - Reproduced
