Main Article Content
Abstract
Many studies are indicating that the educational constraints for the girls among fishermen communities are relatively more as women are forced to work due to poverty. After the implementation of globalization and liberalization policies, the minimum expenditures of families have increased abnormally due to hike in prices of common and essential commodities; hence, women are also rather compelled to work earning some additional income to meet the growing expenditures of their households. All these conditions are significantly responsible for increase in the share of women as a workforce. Keeping the above aspects in view, an attempt is made in this paper to assess the education status of fisher women in visakhapatnam district.
