Resumen
The contemporary world has partially advanced in terms of women’s empowerment and partly stagnated in converging the distance between the entitlement levels of men and women. The problem has been aggrieved especially in the developing regions of the world. Being traditional and patriarchal in nature, women have been limited in activity to the chores of the household falling within the ambit of care economy. Lately women have been trying their best to participate in the wage economy to earn an independent income. The present study is an attempt to analyze the potential of the informal care economy as the most accessible channel for uneducated and unskilled women to find wage employment. The study confirms the limited capacity of developing economies to imbibe education and skills and to create jobs simultaneously. The study further validates the positive and significant role of the informal care economy in offering employment to women, enhancing their perspectives and outcomes. The study concludes by presenting some policy recommendations to let the informal care economy exist as a pathway to the formal job market for the women in the developing world.
