Chapter Five has analyzed the women and employment status, women and labor, women and wage, women and agriculture in rural Bangladesh. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to identify the women conditions which are related to employment status like self employment, officer’s employee, unpaid home helper, day labor. This chapter also discusses the size of women labor force in our economy, women wage pattern in various sectors, ratio of daily wages and women contribution in agriculture in Bangladesh. The main themes of this chapter are women status and gender base employment, labor force and employment size, male and female participation in labor force, growth of labor force, ratio of daily wages and main occupation sector. In rural Bangladesh, as more women enter the labor force, a number of issues related to their status in the workplace such as wages, working conditions, employer employee relations and relations with co-workers are raise. Women’s participation in the labor force also changes the dynamites within the family and raises awareness of new concerns such as security both at work and outside, living conditions, and access to public resources and different types of services such as health care, education and training. As the rural labor market is gender-segmented, with a small portion open to women, there is a high wage differential between men and women. Human endowments do not matter as, most worker are illiterate and unskilled. Rural labor markets are informal and unorganized; hence there are no trade unions or enforcement of minimum wage. Women face various forms of discrimination in employment. They are engaged mostly in low productivity employment in agricultural and informal settings. Although they often work harder and for longer hour than men, their earnings are significantly lower.1 Without proper human development, south asia will not be able to provide productive employment to its large population.
