“…Women in rural areas spend 3.6 more hours than men in unpaid domestic work, compared to 3.5 hours per day in urban areas. Overall, rural residence increases the number of hours devoted to unpaid work and explains women's low participation in the paid labor force in countries such as India (Rao, 2017) and Turkey (Kongar and Memis, 2017).…”

The chapter argues that this transformation is a response to three overlapping crises: an agrarian crisis, an employment crisis, and a crisis of social reproduction. These are not crises for capitalist accumulation, which they enable. Rather, they make it impossible for a majority of Indians to achieve stable, rooted livelihoods.
