Abstract

Introduction Agriculture continues to preoccupy major share of employment in India. The recent trends showed the faminisation of agriculture on account of unpaid family labour. Thus, the structural transformation for females has been slower nonetheless, there were expectations that liberalization may lead to mobility of labour, including female workers, from agriculture to non-agricultural sector. However, there is a growth in the tertiary sector employment due to the increasing level of education, urbanization, lack of opportunities in other sectors, and easy entry for women in low paying activities of this sector. Hence, it is worthwhile to examine trends of employment shift toward tertiary sector since it has been argued in the literature that tertiary sector lower the discrimination against female workers and generate the opportunities to take part in the paid employment.
