‘Micro-firms’ could be holding back women from finding employment 鈥� Business Standard
Featured in Business Standard (Oct. 3, 2023), a research paper coauthored by Assistant Professor of Economics Pubali Chakraborty .
Chakraborty鈥檚 coauthor is Kanika Mahajan, associate professor of economics at Ashoka University in India, and .
In India, larger firms have proportionately more female employees, but India鈥檚 economy is dominated by micro-firms that have fewer than 10 employees.
According to reporter Vasudha Mukherjee, larger firms are able attract more women through non-wage benefits such as maternity benefits, child care facilities, and work-from-home options.
In addition, larger firms may be better placed to invest in such benefits because they have higher revenues and profits, and also because it is more cost-effective to provide such services and infrastructure for a bigger worker pool than for a handful of workers. These possibly indicate that bigger firms are able to attract more women due to these non-wage benefits.
