Abstract
Women and work is a concept which is still exploratory although various researches have been conducted related to women and work and its related concepts. Women's economic participation has increased in different jobs as compared to the past; however, the question is how much it has been able to fulfill the goal that women economic participation leads to women empowerment. In developing countries, the economic restructuring influenced by globalization policies of trade liberalization, privatization and fiscal austerity has on one hand increased opportunities for economically stable, educated, skilled and urban oriented population excluding the poor, un-educated, un-skilled and rural population. This chapter aims to explore the concept of women and work by comparing the conditions of work women do in formal and informal sector expanding the scope of analysis to focus not only on women inclusion in paid jobs but to review why it is not changing their status and position.
