2011
Kaul, Sushila
The role of women has been investigated in dairy enterprise in the Bhiwani district of Haryana along with the impact of employment of women labour on food security of households. A cumulative employment index has been prepared to investigate the employment status of women engaged in dairying and its association with the status of food security has been measured using the chi-square test. It has been found that food security and employment are associated in the case of Loharu block. Education of self and spouse and improvement in family income have depicted a positive and significant impact on employment of women. Though, the age of self and spouse are important variables, very little can be done to make any change in it. Incentives may be provided for providing education and training for skill development of women in the rural areas, which, in turn would improve the level of their employment and consequently food security of households in the rural areas.
