Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Manitoba (Canada), 1992.

Activity patterns and allocation of time in terms of gender, social class, and seasonality are explored in a Bangladesh village. I critically examine conceptual, definitional, ideological, and methodological issues linked to common underestimation of female labor force participation and women's contribution to household economy. A census of 342 households, focused on land ownership and work, was the basis for a detailed study of time-use among a stratified sample of households differentiated in terms of access to land. Interviews and participant observation supplemented these survey data.

520 $a Activity patterns and allocation of time in terms of gender, social class, and seasonality are explored in a Bangladesh village. I critically examine conceptual, definitional, ideological, and methodological issues linked to common underestimation of female labor force participation and women's contribution to household economy. A census of 342 households, focused on land ownership and work, was the basis for a detailed study of time-use among a stratified sample of households differentiated in terms of access to land. Interviews and participant observation supplemented these survey data.
520 $a Women's work that involves home-based and survival-related activities (e.g., molasses making, raising poultry, fetching water, collecting firewood) has remained outside the labor market and largely overlooked in economic analysis. A broader definition of labor force, designed to include all home-based activities that generate income, yields data indicating a high activity level of women. Labor force participation surveys must be sensitive to activities that are not only market-oriented but that also help sustain the economy of the domestic unit and contribute to the GNP.
520 $a Due to culturally structured gender roles in Bangladesh, women's work is more home or bari-based. However, some women in the study village reported off-bari employment involving work in field agriculture as wage laborers, in post-harvest operations, and in construction sites. Women who work in the field as wage laborers constitute a separate social category in the village by breaking into the wage market. They are also breaking social taboos and purdah (seclusion) restrictions. Increased female wage labor in the village may result in an alternative form of resistance to seclusion and domination.
520 $a From the perspective of integrating women in development, research findings focus on three broad policy issues: (i) the need for an "extended" labor force participation approach for a better understanding of the significant role of women in field agriculture and post-harvest processing; (ii) creation of further non-traditional employment and business opportunities for poor women in the rural areas; and (iii) consciousness-raising and challenge of cultural barriers among women initiated by the poor women in the village.
