Part time Jobs and Women

Part Time Jobs and Women

Part time jobs and its relevance for people is a topic of discussion whose time has come. Part time jobs provide both extra earnings and the opportunity to pursue some activity close to our hearts. It is possible that some of us are engaged in our current professions as it provides the bread and butter. There may be other areas which interest us which we currently cannot pursue. Part time jobs gives us an opening to explore those opportunities. Besides the extra income, it also gives us satisfaction and gives a sense of achievement.

Part time jobs is especially relevant to women. These days you find many housewives who are well qualified and with a lot of talent which would be very useful to companies. Due to domestic constraints, she is forced to spend the day within the walls of her home. While the domestic responsibilities prevent her from pursuing a full time job, it may definitely be possible to pursue a part time opportunity. Some of these part time jobs can be done sitting right in side the house – like tuitions, content writing, web designing, data entry, telecalling etc…

Just think of the benefits that accrue from the engagement in a part time job. Most obviously, it brings in an extra income which could be useful for the family. More importantly, this jobs given them an exposure and builds up self confidence and avoids the frustration of being restricted to the walls of the house. For qualified people, this is also a way of keeping in touch with the subject. Often times, the lady would be free to work after a few years. In which case, the experience gained under part time jobs becomes valuable.

The industry and companies benefit by adding women to their work force on a part time basis. In this era where skill shortage is so prevalent, this helps companies to tap into a talent pool at a relatively low cost.


But the MEDIUM is the constraint - the platform for conveying the right part time jobs to right people is lacking here. Inspite of classifieds and other ads, a credible source for searching for part time jobs on a regular basis is lacking. Once such a platform is available, it would make part time jobs easier to find and the lives of thousands of women will be changed for ever!

Right you are. There is lot of untapped potential in the educated housewives and can be realo assets to the corporates without much investment and inventory. Similarly there are lot of retired/ handicapped(various reasons)people with good education and rich experience who can deliver much with a low cost.Even lot of employment can be generated by the corporates without carrying any liability. I think this needs to be given a BIG THOUGHT>
