प्रोद्योगिकी में लैंगिक परिवर्तन: कृषि मशीनीकरण से साक्ष्य
भारतीय कृषि में बढ़ते मशीनीकरण के कारण ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में विशेषकर महिलाओं के लिए कृषि रोजगार में कमी आई है। यह लेख दर्शाता है कि 1999-2011 के दौरान मशीनीकरण में 32 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि देखी गई, जो कृषि में महिलाओं के ग्रामीण रोजगार में हुई 30% की समग्र गिरावट में से 22% गिरावट का कारण हो सकती है। यह गिरावट भूमि की जुताई के बाद किये जाने वाले निराई के कार्य हेतु लगाए जाने वाले श्रम में एक महत्वपूर्ण गिरावट के कारण है।
Gendering technological change: Evidence from agricultural mechanisation
Rising mechanisation in Indian agriculture has been accompanied by reduction in farm employment in rural areas, particularly for women. This article shows that the observed 32 percentage point increase in mechanisation during 1999-2011 can account for 22% of the 30% overall decline in women’s rural employment in agriculture. This is driven by a significant fall in labour used for weeding, an operation that follows tilling of land.
