    Industrialization and technology have led to vast new employment opportunities for women in India's economy. Today, Indian women work in factories, offices, schools, and colleges for a wage, whereas formerly their only alternatives were early marriage or continued dependence on their family home. Now women can earn their own living and are freed from economic dependence on husbands. The number of working women is growing rapidly as employment has been widely accepted, though some conservative sections still disapprove of unmarried women working. This change has brought career and financial independence that has transformed the basic orientation of women in India.

    Women Employment

    Industrialization and technological change have opened vast


    opportunities of employment for women in different sectors of the
    national economy. Today Indian women go to the factory, the office, or
    the school, or the college to work for a wage.

    Formerly a young woman had before her two alternatives; early


    marriage or continued dependence on and subjection to the parental
    home.

    Today, she can earn her own living. The effects of the jobs for women
    have been to free them from economic dependence on the husband.
    The numbers of working women are growing rapidly.

    She now bears him fewer children, and is freed to a great extent, at
    least the middle class working woman, from the drudgery of her
    housework, by the spread of modern household appliances. She can be
    educated in the same way, play a complementary part in politics, think
    in terms of equal pay for equal work, and choose to make a career out
    of her job rather than out of motherhood.
    Employment of women has now been widely accepted phenomena in
    present Indian society. The parents and the society are now approving
    the employment of both married and unmarried girls.
    Though educated people are changing in their attitude but some
    conservative section of the society do not consider it good for an
    unmarried girl to be in a job.
    Many employed unmarried women give their salary to their parents or
    use it in meeting the daily needs of their family. They also use this
    money on their cosmetics, dress, education, etc. Some of them deposit
    this money in bank or keep up to themselves for their marriage.
    The parents of a girl child do recognize the need of preparing her for a
    vocational or professional role.
    Some people do not recognize the occupational role of woman as
    necessary in normal course but almost all of them recognize the need
    of preparing her for such a role to cope with calamities.

    This has also brought in a change in the basic orientation of the female.
    Employment and career has become an important part of her life. She
    is gradually becoming achievement oriented, and is thus having her
    independent aspirations and is trying to achieve those.
    Lack of occupational mobility: Most of the working women prefer to get
    employed at a place near to their place of residence. Many women
    accept a low salaried job, but do not prefer to go over to a place away
    from their home.
    Conclusion: On the one hand, women have very few job opportunities.
    On the other, they are restrained to join a job because of its social
    propriety.
