"Women empowerment and women participation is the crucial issue for economic development and prosperity of a country. The developed countries have equal participation of women in all walks of life. The non-participation of women in India, is based on the social conditions of the country. It is a fact that women can contribute more and they are willing to adopt any type of activity more sincerely and with more interest, than the men, but the opportunities are denied to them, because of the psychological, cultural, social, educational and training hurdles. Even in case of manual jobs, they are not reluctant but social obstacles comes in their way.

The under-employment of women is a cause for low income and low productivity. The improvement in the level of employment can bring prosperity. The book highlights the problems and causes for low participation of women. The book reveals the obstacles and suggests the measures. This can be a useful book for researchers, academicians, social reformers and in general." (jacket)
