Gender Differences in the Workload Related to Household and Farm Activities – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Gender differences are very common in the rural areas, mainly in the developing countries like India. Women are always disadvantaged, due to the lack of education, limited access to resources and patriarchal norms put by the society. Though women give their work contribution at household and farm level, their role remains unrecognized. This creates a hindrance for their development. This paper tried to analyse the roles of men and women in household and farm activities. The review showed that, women had a greater workload compared to men, as they were involved in both farm and household activities. Educational Policies have to be framed to reduce these inequalities between the genders.
