India became independent on 15 Aug 1974. But, till today the women are struggling to achieve equality with the men. The inequality is deeply rooted in the past. Women in 19th century through various revolution eg. French and In India too wanted to achieve the same status in soceity as the men. If we look into the 20th century, we found that it is considered as uncommon and notorious to work outside equal footing with men. So as of today too, lesser women are found in regular salaried employment as compared to men because a larger portion of women are engaged in economic activities without stable contracts and steady income. read less

Mostly less women are found in regular salaries employment because in our country, from the very starting we have been facing issues of patriarchy. Women are still fighting to gain their equality in the society in terms of work and other things. when we talk about the employment scenario, we need to understand that mindset and thinking of the employers matter a lot in terms of deciding and we still face close mindedness in terms of providing employment to the women. It is still difficult for them to understand that women are capable of many more things out of their household chores and can manage everything well, however it is pre conceived notion that women won't be able to manage the office work and hence they are paid less. read less
