| The construction sector is one of the largest employers of women next to agriculture in India. This article analyses the data from a large sample of men and women construction workers, and proposes ways to empower women workers. Most of them are very poor and destitute, face harassment at both home and workplace and do the heaviest work. This study suggests training for women as masons to equalise their opportunities. | |
