Women Construction Workers Mathew, Anna. (1999). Women construction workers and their changing position in the family. Hyderabad : Roda Mistry College of Social Work and <strong>Research</strong> Centre. 6 p. Key Words : 1.WOMEN LABOUR 2.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY 3.WOMEN CONSTRUCTION WORKERS 4.ANDHRA PRADESH. Abstract : This paper is based on a research project sponsored by the University Grants Commission, titled ‘Problems of women in the unorganized sector with special reference to women construction workers (WCW) in the city of Hyderabad’. The increasing growth of female participation in the construction industry has major implications for the nature of work and family life. This study ascertained whether the employment of women construction workers had positive bearing on the type of relationship WCWs shared with their husbands. It also examined their level of satisfaction about contribution towards family income and extent of help rendered by their husbands in domestic labour. The sample comprised 690 WCWs from the various construction sites of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Data was collected using interview schedules. Findings revealed that 56.4% WCWs felt a sense of satisfaction by contributing towards the family income, 30% were indifferent towards their contribution, and 14% felt that they were obliging their relations and family members. Results also showed a higher percentage among both WCWs (83.4%) and their husbands (61.4%) subscribing to an egalitarian relationship than to ‘husband dominance’ or ‘wife dominance’ relationships. The percentage of respondents with a relationship of ‘wife dominance’ was glaringly low as compared to that of ‘husband dominance’. However, decisions taken on household chores, child care, money matters and employment plans were found to be made on consensus basis and mutual agreement. It was found that 57% husbands extended help under coercion, 31% did not help at all, and only 12% willingly helped in domestic work. About 57.7% husbands encouraged their wives to work, 38% were indifferent towards their wives working, and 20% did not want their wives to work because of the continuing influence of traditional gender roles. Though more than 50% husbands approved of their wives working, but only 9.8% willingly extended help to their wives in doing household chores. Therefore, there is an urgent need to create awareness among both, the WCWs and their husbands, regarding advantages of working together as partners within the household. Social workers can play a vital role in creating this awareness by holding group discussions on these aspects among WCWs and their husbands. 91 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
Singh, D.P. (2005). 92 Women Construction Workers Women workers in the brick kiln industry of Haryana. Indian Journal of Gender Studies, 12(1) : 83-97. Key Words : 1.WOMEN LABOUR 2.WOMEN WORKERS 3.BRICK KILN INDUSTRY 4.HARYANA. Abstract : The study was conducted to know the socio economic status of women workers in the brick industry of Haryana. It investigated the different economic activities adopted for survival; and explored various aspects relating to the family, migration, and women’s working conditions. A sample of 410 women workers were drawn using multi stage random sampling technique. Structured interview schedules were used, and employers and significant persons were interviewed to gather information. More than 87% women workers of brick kilns were found to be less than 45 years of age. The largest number of workers was from the neighbouring states namely Uttar Pradesh (32%), Bihar (29%), Haryana (22.68%) and Rajasthan (13.41%). For most of the women, it was the husband’s decision to work in the kiln. The chief attraction was that money could be obtained in advance. Women workers in brick kilns were at the bottom of the hierarchy. Only a few of the respondents (6.34%) mentioned that women were either looked down upon or physically harassed. Almost 98.04% workers came to the brick kiln only for the season, that is, from October and November to May or June. Family size of workers varied from two to five members (67.56%), six to ten (24.15%), and eleven to fifteen (8.29%). In all the brick kilns of this area employers gave some money to workers for their day-to-day expenses on the 15 th day of the month. This money was actually paid to the male workers, and women did not receive money for expenses separately. Most of the women said that their families were unable to save. Control and decision making usually rested with males. The lives of women working in brick kilns was exhausting and tough because of the double burden of working at home as well as at the work site. They hardly got any time for recreation or leisure activities. Although all of them contributed to the family’s survival, it was disheartening to note that they did not receive any independent income and had to depend upon their men folk entirely. <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
