The paper analyses the women’s position in society, taking three groups of women, those of plantation workers, garment factory workers and women migrants. The study showed that although women contribute to the economy of both the country and the household, it does not necessarily strengthen their place in society. Rather, they remain vulnerable in the economy. The factors contributing to this situation are, the patriarchal society which still exists, the exclusion of women in political processes that could help to gain their rights, and the lack of attention paid to the care services provided by women. The crucial role played by women in safety and health of children and elders, education, and care of household economy is largely ignored and not valued. These factors which affect the vulnerability of women in the economy must be addressed to enable the empowerment of women and greater participation by them in the economy. |
