00:07or
00:071990 what would you expect be the number in 2022 the number is only slightly greater than 100 and
00:15in percentage terms it has actually dropped steeply and is dropping every year women are getting
00:22educated and empowered in everything and are choosing to sit at home this is so counter

00:40workplaces are not paying them enough or there is discrimination at workplace so some women are
00:45not going to work but tell me was there lesser discrimination in 1985 then how is it possible
00:50that more and more women educated women empowered women are opting to sit at home this is the

01:03relaxation and consumption now if relaxation and consumption are happily coolly available at home
01:10why work i'm not saying that is the case with all women but increasingly a large cross-section of women
