Challenges of Women Workers in Tea Plantation Industry

Author(s) NIROSHINI.V

Abstract Women workers and their role in the tea plantations have received relatively scant attention in plantation literature and women’s studies although they dominate the tea industry. Women workers are an asset and backbone of the tea industry, and despite their contributions women workers have always been relegated to the bottom strata and considered the most abundant and cheapest labour force rather than as a source of specialised labour. Workers still earn meagre incomes, suffer from levels of health care and personal well-being, lives entrapped in poverty and are cut off from the main stream. The entire spectrum of elements, which acts as a barrier to the equitable participation of women in development, ranges from education, training, health, cultural and social considerations. This paper deals with the participation of women in the workforce and the impact on their socio-economic life. It also examines the ways in which women workers are marginalized on multiple fronts: casualization of the workforce, upward occupational mobility and political space of trade unions.
