- Abstract
The conditions of work in the unorganized sector were unsatisfactory, the illiteracy, poverty and indebtedness forced them to work for lower wages and under unjust conditions. A Majority of women work in unorganized sectors for low wages due to low level of skills, illiteracy, ignorance and surplus labor and thus face high level of exploitation. Women were exploited to a greater degree as they were paid less compared to men for similar nature of work and hours spent on work. This study concentrated on the imbalance between life and work of women in the unorganised sectors including Anganwadi workers, Tailoring workers, Construction workers, Coolies, Beauticians etc from the Malappuram district of Kerala. For this, 150 Female workers were purposefully selected for administering interview schedule and the secondary sources like books, periodicals, newspapers and online resources also used for the data collection. The study reveals that there is an imbalance between work and life of unorganised women due to insecurity, long working hours and lower wages.
