A Paper on Women Employment in Karnataka

Abstract

From Preface: Developmental Programmes under different plans have an objective of generation of employment opportunities both in terms of mandays and number of persons. In 1985, an attempt was made to study the employment generated for women in the Karnataka’s VII Five Year Plan. However, due to difficulties in obtaining information about the employment anticipated to be generated for women, a small paper on Women Employment in Karnataka utilising the information available from the-decennial census, economic census and the employment market information system of the Directorate of Employment and Training was prepared. This has been put out as a publication of the Manpower and Employment Division with a view to elicit comments/suggestions for further work in the area.
