Women’s Work, Labour, and Reproductive Health: An Ethnographic Overview

Abstract

Women‘s work, labour and health status are interdependently linked with each other. While health status determines individual‘s caliber to work and labour, the latter two inevitably influence the first one too. There is need to re-look into the matters when these concepts are perceived and defined differently by rural women‘s themselves. This paper is based on primary-first hand data aiming to provide an ethnographic exercise on understanding poor women‘s health and work domain in a socio-cultural context.
