The brick factory work is seasonal and the employment is contractual utterly insecure and wage is piece rated. Though women workers comprise about one-half of the total workforce in every factory they hail from the families that survive by working as labourer in every conceivable sense they are from lower caste and class illiterate and they are mostly wives of male factory workers. While husbands of those women are not necessarily confined to unskilled factory works women really are. Women are in plethora those works which are unskilled in nature and where wage earning is comparatively low. Workers after hard days toil receive wage that is barest minimum for subsistence. This is why workers are compelled to work along with other family members and as long in a day as they can.
