With increased exposure to education and well-paid opportunities for labour, women from Tier 2 towns and rural areas are keen on taking up jobs in the formal sector that offer them stability, safe working conditions and fair wages.
There are over 7 million migrant workers looking for job opportunities in India. Out of this number, a sizable portion are women workers. With shortage of jobs in their native towns, women are ready to move out of their villages and communities to larger cities in search of well-paying jobs. Though there are various organisations, NGOs and missionaries providing support with skilling, training and development, it’s a huge challenge to create jobs for them and place them locally. In addition to this, a number of unorganised local players who assure them jobs in big cities tend to misuse workers in terms of labour and fair compensation.
With increased exposure to education and well-paid opportunities for labour, women from Tier 2 towns and rural areas are keen on taking up jobs in the formal sector that offer them stability, safe working conditions and fair wages. In fulfilling these aspirations, Home Healthcare has emerged as a lucrative and stable career option for many women from smaller cities and towns. With increasing demand for Home Healthcare, there will be more and more opportunities in Home Healthcare for women.
