I have yet to pass a construction site in North India where the women weren't working alongside the men, with their children on their backs or off to one side, and caring for the children too. the women are paid minimal wages if accompanying their husband.

This is a double whammy. Women are hired in underpaid, low-skill residential or small construction. High tech construction - metros, flyovers, etc. - is mechanized. And guess who gets those higher-paid, higher-skill construction jobs? Or rather, guess who doesn't get those jobs?
-
FWIW: the skill level and labour for men and women were exactly the same. When I asked why the pay differential, she shrugged and said "that's the way it is."
-
I used to volunteer at an organization that ran construction site day care centers. The exhausted mothers! Who, after a day's work on the construction site, had to then start the second shift of cooking dinner. On a wood stove. It's shocking to know that nothing's changed since.

How many men rely on the unpaid and unrecongnised labour of women to make their wealth

Folks should stop looking for an opportunity to outrage every time. It is positive article that points to need for formalization.. No one said women don't work!
-
The article read like it was written by some British beaurocratic twit circa 1940. It is hardly positive.

Do you know what China's women labor force participation is? 63. We are competing with them. Ours is 27. It has to improve.
-
Actual participation rate is higher (many jobs are unpaid or paid off the books). Also, competing w/China=race to the bottom for workers re: pay/benes (much of that GDP growth will go to factory owners). Coded into article: "inflexible workforce" (often means unions).
-
Arthur, u r right. Informal jobs are exploitative. (Read my first tweet. Nobody says women don't work). Formalization of workforce esp women with maternity benefits is the way to go.
-
Okay, in essence, you can agree we are all saying the same thing right? So what exactly are you arguing on and on about?
-
I thought the article is flawed in its assumptions & tries to compress a complex situation in the most condescending way possible. Also not convinced that having women move from one form underpaid labor to another is going to do anything for them w/out strong worker rights

Are they doing work that matches their education level or could be done by someone with much lower qualification?
-
Seriously dude? When she said "work", all you could think of is chores? I had better expectations from you.

If more women worked in India the wages of men would be lowered to ensure the same living standard as before. Ever considered the fact that families on a single wage in Australia now find it almost impossible to balance the budget, but could do so in the ‘50s?
