Rural Non-Farm Sector (RNFs) in Punjab: a Path for Women to Achieve Self-reliance?

Author(s) Aikjyot Kaur Dua
Country India
Abstract The stagnancy of growth in the agricultural sector in Punjab has led to a shift in the workforce from traditional agriculture to the non-farm sector. In order to ensure that an inclusive growth takes place in this upcoming sector, the marginalized section of rural women should also be actively included in it. The women of rural areas face a lot of cultural barriers when it comes to work. Rural women are not allowed to go outside the village and some are not even allowed to leave the house for working. In order to make such women self-reliant and to empower them to the extent that they are able to participate in decision making actively, quality employment must be generated in this sector.
RNFS in Punjab has been seeing a growth in the employment of women. These women are engaged either in the secondary or the service sector. The given paper studies the quality of employment which is being generated for Punjabi women in RNFS using the primary data of five hundred women. It also lays down the prospects this sector offers to women in order to achieve the goal of self-reliance. The policy suggestions for further ensuring provision of good quality jobs to women in RNFS have also been proposed.
Keywords Self-reliance, non-farm employment, female empowerment
