劳动力市场的灵活性以及不断增长的工作非正规化和劳动力女性化是印度正在进行的改革后结构调整过程最有可能的结果之一。越来越多的女工被剥夺了社会保障，即使根据现行劳动法，她们也有权合法享有社会保障（Anker 1998；Standing 1999）。妇女在有薪就业中的劳动力参与率一直很低，并且主要集中在较低阶层，甚至在非正规部门也是如此，与印度农村和城市的男性相比，存在明显的薪酬歧视（GOI，2010）。印度劳动力市场性别歧视无处不在，加上种姓和宗教歧视，性别歧视更加严重。在本文中，我们表明，如果女工属于经济落后种姓和宗教少数群体，她们就会受到更多歧视，甚至在工资方面也是如此。
Labour market fl exibility with ever growing informalisation of work and feminisation of labour has been one of the most likely outcomes of the ongoing process of postreform structural adjustment in India. An increasing proportion of women workers have been denied social security to which they are legally entitled even under the existing labour laws (Anker 1998; Standing 1999). The labour force participation rate of women in wage employment has been substantially low and concentrated mainly in the lower strata, even within the informal sector, with signifi cant pay discrimination as compared to men both in rural and urban India (GOI 2010). Gender discrimination is omnipresent in the Indian labour market, and the discrimination is more serious when caste and religious discrimination are taken into account. In this paper we show that women workers are discriminated more, even in terms of wage, if they are in economically backward castes and religious minority groups.
