Telangana Women's Workforce Growth Amid Wage Gaps

Telangana Women's Workforce Growth Amid Wage Gaps

In Telangana, more women are joining the workforce, especially in cities.

However, women still earn much less than men, especially in jobs like garment factories and retail.

In some places, women earn only 60 to 70 percent of what men earn for the same work.

This is because women often have fewer opportunities to advance in their jobs and may leave work to take care of their families.

The government has set a minimum wage, but many women still earn much less than this.

Workers say that despite working hard, women are paid less than men for the same jobs.

The government has not responded to questions about why this is happening and how they plan to fix it.
