Gender, Unpaid Work and Care in India

The paradox of women's paid and unpaid work in India is the subject of this volume. It looks at historical discourses, macroeconomic policies, employment trends, the situation in tribal areas, and public services and infrastructure.

It also considers climate change, gendered migration and the vulnerability of girl children, and shows how gender norms, resource rights, identities and agency shape women's work. Built on feminist frameworks and micro-level empirical studies, it offers fresh perspectives on women's work in the Global South.

The book will be useful to scholars in political economy, labour studies, gender studies, public policy, economics and development studies, and to planners, policymakers, gender advocates and civil society organisations. Routledge India published this first edition in 2022. It runs to 256 pages. ISBN-13: 9780367558208.
