abstract: The paper examine the changes in work participation and employment pattern of
women in rural Andhra Pradesh during 1993-94 to 1999-2000 based on the unit
level data of NSSO 50th and 55th rounds. Participation in economic activities
decreases and unemployment increases with levels of education, as opportunities for
educated women are low in rural areas. Employment in service sector and regular
employment increases with level of education. Gender differences in wages were
quite high. Wage differences between males and females ranged from 50% among
casual labourers in services to 193% in regular employed in industry. However,
there seems to be reduction in wage differences among gender as well as among
sectors during 1993-94 to 1999-00.
