The status and role of women in economic development, certain change indicators which
are dynamic have to be considered. The impact of modernization on changes in the status control
of the women could be visualized through social change, economic change, occupational
structure, cultural change, changes in education, health, and nutrition and sanitation political
awareness. The concept “status” would mean the relative socio-economic position describe
through specific roles performed by individuals which would be expressed by changes in
resource employment, attitudes and ideologies.
The classification of status on dependency and organization has its own limitation for
women projecting a leading role time and again, participation of women in socio-economic
development has not received its due recognition.
In developing countries like India, women’s participation in the organized sector its only
about 15.0 percent through in some of the developed countries a ratio as high as 72 to 80 percent
is reported.
However, their participation in unorganized and informal sectors is quite considerable in
these countries.
Now the modern women like their sisters in the ancient societies are not subjected to
various socio-economic sufferings. In the new era, more and more women are unwilling to
accept the subordinate, passive and restricted role. They not only want to liberate themselves
from this man – dominated world in which they have been discriminated and so incompatible
with human dignity. With the help welfare of the family and of society they want to create a
better world for all to live in.
