GG250 Lecture 7: GESC291 Reading Review 7
Document Summary
This article talks about women labour in the city of dhaka and how majority of women take on jobs in the garment industry. Those who take on these jobs normally don"t come from the poorest of households. This article specifies the circumstances that allow these women to enter the workforce, the role they play with supporting their households (one earner/ family is very common), and lastly the environment they"re supposed to work in. The issue with this is that they need to alter each workplace to fit the needs and standards so that they are able to work efficiently. From this article, what caught my eye was when i read about the average peak for when males and females start to work. For males, 10-14 years is when the employment rises but for females it was between ages 10-14 years and 15-19 years but then decreased at ages 20-24 years.
