women respondents in the study chosen for the Present Study. Today, economic independence is<br />

considered to be the Prime basis for improving the status of women in India. It is generally<br />

agreed that availability of credit to women would result in reducing their dependency, enhancing<br />

their social and economic activities as well as empowering them to assert more in the household<br />

decisions.<br />

In India women cannot be viewed as a homogenous group as the society is stratified on<br />

the basis of class, caste and religion.<br />

tied to class, caste and religions affiliations. In order to grasp the nature of these causal<br />

relationships, it is imperative to understand the socio-economic characteristics of women<br />

labourer’s in Match Industries. This work attempts to analyze the major socio-economic<br />
