Abstract

In the third world countries, women are relegated to very low earning sectors of the economy demanding strenuous drudgeful work in low skill and low technology sectors with low productivity, it is well known that cashew is one of the most depressed industries in Kerala, where not only employment is seasonal, but wages are depressingly low. There is no regular pattern in the spread and distribution of employment in this industry over the calendar year. As a result, when some factories provide employment to their workers, others are shut down completely.
