Q1-7. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Women play a major role in the economy of a nation, including housewives. Housewives are the largest workforce in the world, the most underpaid and receive undue scoff. If she is paid the role of a housewife’s duties can amount to billions of dollars annually. A woman purchases household goods not limited to food items, but clothing, accessories, and many daily use items as simple as a scrub to wash dishes. She is the dictator of large companies producing goods in manifold, she purchases the chips and cold-drinks her child consumes and treats guests with, she decides which commodities will be used and in what quantity. Most shopping outlets are directed towards women. Women are ultimately the largest consumers in the market, especially so in the Indian market where culture is upheld by women, where it’s the wifely duty to ensure all goods are stocked in the house and family members are able to work without a hiccup. Yet women are the most overlooked consumer of the market, and the corporates which target female-consumers lack the female workforce within their company.
As women are the largest consumers in the market, any product targeted towards them will surely become a success. The movie ‘Joy’ a biographical movie on Joy Mangano presents to the world the miracle of a mop. She is a self-made millionaire who has earned her worth by selling miracle-mops and hangers, items that are purchased by women who tire of the tedious nature of daily chores. India has the widely acclaimed Shahnaz Hussain, who produces beauty essentials directed towards women who are again the largest consumers of self-care products. Adverts for Nirma, Vim, even Bournvita is directed towards women from the perspective of motherhood and being a good dutiful wife and caregiver.
Yet India’s largest economic benefit from women is achieved by the cultural values bestowed. India achieved a savings rate of 33 per cent of the GDP, of which 7 per cent comes from household saving and 2 per cent from the private corporate sector and 1 per cent from public sector. The staggering 7% of household saving is the fuel of the economy, with a tendency to have extra cash stacked away hidden from the family but no spending at all, the Indian culture seems to drive the Indian economy positively.
International Women’s day on March saw large scale strikes by women, the theme was ‘A Day Without a Woman’. If women in India were to take a day off then the economy would face a serious setback, teachers in schools are mostly women and children would face a difficult time learning, household chores would not be done which would bring down the productivity and ease with which this patriarchal regime thrives upon, even though the private sector sees only a small percentage of women in the workforce that is still enough to create a loss. More women may be involved in undocumented or ‘disguised’ wage work than in the formal labour force. It is estimated that over 9 per cent of women workers are involved in the informal sector and not included in official statistics. The informal sector includes jobs such as domestic servants, small traders, artisans, or labourers on a family farm. The female labour force which is unaccounted for in the census would naturally find a seeming halt to the system.
Women empowerment is much more than realizing the work a woman does is equivalent to the work of a man, it’s much more than obtaining the right to a certain occupation. Woman empowerment is the global realization that tasks done by women, that the feminine touch to domesticity and professionalism is not desired but needed. It’s the realization of the balance of nature, that we are all equal and no work is big or small.
