Book desription: Concept Pub. Co., 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Kumar (social work, Jamia Millia Islamia-A Central University, New Delhi) and Varghese (social work, Delhi U.) present findings from a study of a marginalized segment of India's unorganized agricultural workforce employed for seasonal work by farm owners, based on data collected from 750 women in three states. Coverage includes an overview of female landless labor worldwide; a demographic and social profile of the study's subjects; harassment, wage differential, indebtedness, and other problems they face; the subjects' experiences with relevant programs of Indian governmental and non-governmental agencies, and their opinions about what the role of these agencies should be; and recommendations for improving the welfare of these workers. The indices contain several UN and Indian regulatory documents related to the topic. (©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
