INTRODUCTION

The present era is the age of women where men and women are equal. Status of women has improved considerably both at the work-front as well as at the home-front. Even society has a change in the attitude towards women, their education and importance of their career. They are taking active part in earning bread and butter for their families. Even men have realized the importance of working women and their contribution towards the society as a whole. Women workers in India face far more challenges than their counterparts elsewhere. In addition to such a significant number of endeavors from past years, the female section of society is dismissed, in comparison to the male section. Inside her own nation, social and economic decisions don't give them main concern. Various reasons have an influence on women taking up paid work. Nevertheless, the most significant reason for work among most Indian women is the sheer economic necessity. Women take up jobs in order to increase the family income. Lower and lower middle-class women take up jobs to fulfill their financial needs and alleviate the burden of feeding their children. For upper and upper middle class women, the reasons for taking up jobs are of a more psychological nature than they are due to economic and social compulsions. Most of them take up jobs because it gives them self-expression, personal satisfaction and the escape from the idling boredom at home. Financial security gives them a sense of freedom, in addition to providing an opportunity to lead a better lifestyle. Managers might be one-sided against women when set up to see low wages comparative with men and, in any case, since they are relied on to be ever milder and more agreeable. Consequently, the legislation authorized for the protection of women laborers, for example, maternity benefits, kid care and the elimination of pay discrimination, prompts women being diminished in composed work and pushes them all the more unorganically. Barati, A., R. O. Middle Easterner and Masoumi, S. S. (2016) India is a conservative nation and the religions, culture and customs are extraordinary. Women's position in India is fundamentally in the home and constrained to residential issues. Now and again, women may secure positions as medical caretakers , doctors, the consideration and nursing professions as teachers. However despite the fact that very much qualified women are accessible as designers or supervisors or geologists, a male of proportional skill will be given need. The current study inspected the elements that debilitate female employees from ascending to higher posts and the obstructions and issues looked by female laborers. In addition , the report tries to explain the genuine situation of working Indian women and furthermore plans to clear up the key issues of working women. In their exploration Kamala and Sankaran (2011) found that female employees are paying inconsistent pay rates for a similar activity. They do

minimizing their capacity to make sure about their job as employees. Other than that, there is inescapable sexual orientation disparity in recruiting and supporting female specialists. Olaitan et al., (2010) in their study concluded that partners, educational plan, checking or positioning, guardians, students, school bodies, network, supervision/instructing, school air and wages or salary were the significant wellsprings of worry among woman teachers. Malini Goyal (2008) found in her study that most female employees acquire pay rates at the base of the worth chain – 45% of female laborers procure under Rs.50,000 every year. Only 26% of these women are allowed to settle on autonomous budgetary decisions concerning their pay.

DATA AND ANALYSIS
