Abstract
they should not be neglected. They work inside and outside the house to improve the economic conditions of their own family and also to prevent them from migrating to other places. Establishing small industrial enterprises in the close proximity of villages is really helpful in reducing unemployment. Rural women have become independent financially by working in these small industrial units and therefore they can improve their families’ economic conditions and prevent them from migrating to other places. As women’s abilities and capabilities are flourishing is another advantage resulting from women employment in such small industrial units that will, in turn, lead to rural development. In this research, the role of small industrial enterprises in the employment of the women of Farmihan rural district has been studied. The analytical-descriptive (case-study) methodology is used in this essay and the analysis of questionnaires-based data by the test of independence made by Chi- Square Distribution (X2). Based on this analysis, the small industrial units are shown to have a great impact on rural women employment, which has the greatest impact on reducing the extent of immigration.
