Key Takeaways!
Reflections shared by participants!
It was a highly informative and engaging session on what the future of women’s participation in the labour force will look like. It was especially fitting as we deal with the after-effects of the Pandemic and consider the long-term impact of the same. I look forward to participating in more such sessions in the future. – Siddhidhatri Mishra
There is room for more discussion in this discourse of labor and especially women’s labor. The whole experience of being part of this discussion helped me to ponder over the less discussed areas on the exercise of labour. Untangling the complexities of questions such as What is labor? How does power function in these social movements? How do we assign value to the labour? How is the labour of a researcher measured?- Pranjali Patel
It was an amazing and insightful session. The concerns raised regarding marketisation and categorisation of workforce has sidelined the contribution of disabled people, especially of disabled women, is something that we often fail to recognise. The way in which the work of female labour force has been unvalorised and alienated historically needs to be questioned and redefined. I really enjoyed the session. Thank you!- Saloni
If I have to speak about the key takeaways, I would have more questions than answers with me. ‘How do we define work?’, ‘What is seen productive/unproductive work?’, ‘Why is there low participation of women in the labour force of India?’, ‘Do students work?’ etc. These are the questions I am left with. I have started thinking about various miniscule but important things around me.
