Women is said to be equal to the man in the present society. But, this situation is far from the reality. The unequal status of women is owing to a vicious circle in which they have caught up with low levels or absence of literacy coupled with low levels of skills leading to low level of employment and low wages , containing them very often to marginal categories of work or unpaid work . With the result their economic status gets miserable. Evidently, women constitute one –third of labour force, their share in the world 's working hours is two –third and Yet , earning one – tenth of the income (UN 1975) . It is mainly due to the unpaid economic activities that women's work is not reported in the census. An ILO study estimated that the value of unpaid household work constitute 25 -39 percent of the total GNP in a developing country. | | Keywords : | | - Market centres, Distribution, Periodicity.,Anganwadi workers, Icds, Knowledge, Problems.,
