Human development aims at enlarging people's choices. By people it
is meant that both males and females are given the opportunities to
enhance their capabilities. In the usual systems of national
accounting, the economic contribution of men is majorly considered
in the form of activities performed for an exchange price in the
market. Such activities are measurable in terms of money for the
productive services rendered by labour. However, women perform
activities in the household that require the same or sometimes even
more labour efforts as men require outside the house. But due to
lack of the recognition and measurability imparted to such
activities, they remain outside the ambit of the economic
activities. This book is an attempt to highlight the importance of
valuing women's work that is largely unpaid and unrecognised. An
effort has been made to examine data related to the participation
of women in different activities. This is required to know the
nature of activities that include the involvement of women. A major
observation form such data reveals trends that are quite a
departure from the usually held beliefs.
