Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Road construction or repair is a troublesome and hard working job in India; like other developed western countries India doesn’t have all the necessary equipment facilities in this area due to very high cost, only Crain and the Road rollers are available as automatic machines; most of the works are done manually. As ours is a tropical country, at this weather to do hard work on open roads need much physical strength. The male and female laborers suffer a lot, but as the men are stronger physically than the females, they manage somehow. The females have to manage their families after their work; so, their problems (physical and mental) are much more than their male counterparts. Besides all these factors, the women are physically weaker than men in general and they are not paid equally like the men. These women come from the remote villages where they can not work as domestic helps, factory laborers etc due to lack of scopes. If they want to earn money only this is the option for them to work as temporary laborers for road or building constructions. In most cases they are highly exploited by their contractors and male work mates financially and even sexually. The young women when reach at their middle age or more, most of them depend on alcoholism which is very much detrimental for our society and must be curbed.
