Abstract

Engagement of women in the development and delivery of habitat products and the construction sector can lead to tremendous benefits. The survey results are presented to show the Role of Women in Habitat-based Livelihood Services: technology development, delivery and application. Women clearly benefitted from initiatives that promote working in the sector in terms of increased incomes, standards of living, and higher levels of self esteem. The presentation is derived from the larger project “Mutually Reinforcing Role of Women in Livelihood Services: Researching the case of India.”
