Living Condition of Working Women In Plantation

A plantation crop normally is a monoculture and includes growing of variety of products like Tea Coffee Rubber Pepper & other spices.A majority of the workers in the plantation sector are women. The reason for this is that these plantations are historically linked with colonialism. The plantations are located in remote areas and were sparsely populated during the colonial period. As a result families were employed rather than individuals thus absorbing women in the labor force. The aim of this study is to know about the living condition of women in plantations.
