Mangesh writes "According to the latest figures released by the Indian government, the proportion of women holding a job in the organized sector in India has gone up from 15 % to 18.5 % in the last five years. In India, the organized sector accounts for only 7% of the total workforce, and a job in this sector is a passport to prosperity. What is worrying is that male employment in this sector actually declined by 1.3 million and female employment increased by 0.4 million. This data explodes the feminist perpetrated myth of `feminization of poverty'. The following link is to the story in the English language daily `The Economic Times'.
