Identify the correct statement(s) with respect to the education of women.

• A. Most of the jobs in the organised sector pay educated men and women equally.
• B. Cultural and historical reasons have influenced the education of women in India.
• C. Most of the uneducated women end up working in the unorganised sector.
• D. In the unorganised sector, women are paid more compared to men.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Most of the uneducated women end up working in the unorganised sector.

Women have been less educated than men due to cultural and historical factors. With a lower level of education and skills, they end up working in the unorganised sectors where work conditions are not favourable. On the other hand, education helps women get better work opportunities, which provides them wages and respect on par with men.
