Research Projects

Women’s economic activity is rooted mainly in socio-cultural, historical, physiological and economic considerations. Hence, looking at women’s employment from the labour market point of view alone is not enough. The society needs to look at this problem with the intentions of introducing a transactional as well as transformational intervention at socio- cultural, political and economic levels.

Researchers noted that understanding differences among women is critical to crafting policy and making public investments that meet their needs and expand their choices and opportunities. Hence, this project has a wider impact and multiplier effect. Professional education is considered to be the entry pass for starting one’s career. Living in urban areas provide a certain level of opportunities and support services that are very crucial for young women to start and continue their careers even when family and society expects women to play many other roles as well.

Therefore, to support women and develop structures within universities that allow women to follow their careers, RAINBOW aims at implementing centres in the existing structures of the participating Indian project partners. These centres are expected to serve as a career counselling and guidance centres for young women.
