This paper seeks to lay bare the contours and consequences of the relationship between paid work and unpaid care work for women in low income households, in order to better understand the relationship between women’s participation in paid work and ‘economic empowerment’. It is also interested in analysing whether, and if so how, women (may) achieve a positive balance between their unpaid care work and paid work responsibilities such that their economic empowerment is optimised (women’s entry into paid work is enabled without deepening their time poverty or worrying about the quality of care received by their family), shared (across generations, so that other women/girls in the family are not left to bear the burden of care) and sustained (such that the quality of care provided to children improves as a result of their mother’s paid work).
The paper seeks to do this by mapping the social organisation of care in low income households across four sites in India, and assessing how women cope with their dual burdens. By focusing our analysis on two ‘women’s economic empowerment programmes’: the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Rajasthan and the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) in Madhya Pradesh, we also seek to analyse how women’s economic empowerment policy and programming can generate a ‘double boon’: paid work that empowers women and provides more support for their unpaid care work responsibilities.

This working paper seeks to examine the relationship between unpaid care work and paid work that women in low-income households in Nepal perform, and whether, and if so how, they are able to maintain a balance between the two. It also examines the causes and consequences of the double burden on the physical and emotional wellbeing of women and their children. Further, the paper aims to create knowledge about how different stakeholders such as family, community, employers and state can contribute to women’s economic empowerment such that their economic empowerment is optimised (women’s entry into paid work is enabled without deepening their time poverty or worrying about the quality of care received by their family), shared (across generations, so that other women/girls in the family are not left to bear the burden of care) and sustained (such that the quality of care provided to children improves as a result of their mother’s paid work). By examining women’s participation in two economic empowerment programmes – the Enterprise Development Programme (EDP) in Surkhet district and Karnali Employment Programme (KEP) in Jumla district – it also provides policy inputs on how women’s economic empowerment (WEE) policy and programming can generate a ‘double boon’: paid work that empowers women and provides more support for their unpaid care work.

This note examines MGNREGA to understand how women’s economic empowerment (WEE) policy and programming can generate a ‘double boon’ – paid work that empowers women and provides more support for their unpaid care work responsibilities. The research was carried out using a mixed-methods approach in the districts of Dungarpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan, India with both MGNREGA participants and non-participants, with the additional criterion of them having at least one child under six years old.

This note examines the work of the Self Employed Women’s Association in Madhya Pradesh (SEWA MP) to understand how women’s economic empowerment (WEE) policy and programming can generate a ‘double boon’ – paid work that empowers women and provides more support for their unpaid care work responsibilities. The research was implemented in 2016, in the districts of Indore and Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh (MP), India. The research adopted a mixed-methods approach, with primary data consisting of quantitative and qualitative data, which were collected from women from low-income families who were engaged in paid work and had at least one child under the age of six, and their families. 60 per cent of these women were SEWA members.

The paper describes structural preconditions and the present state of gender inequality in the Ukrainian labor market. The data on virtual horizontal and vertical segregation of women and their higher load of household chores is adduced. It is shown that besides objective reasons gender inequality is reproduced by stereotypes. These stereotypes are spread among individuals of both genders and the situation almost
has not changed during the time. Among them beliefs about desirability of letting men have a workplace, lesser suitability for executive positions and contradictory role expectations that maintain women’s “double burden” could be mentioned. (Article is in Ukrainian)
