There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the options given below.

Assertion: Women in India who  participate in family farm labour are categorised as workers.
Reasoning: Women in India who carry out works like cooking, fetching water and fuelwood are not categorised as workers.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

The correct answer is option 4: Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Assertion: Women in India who  participate in family farm labour are categorised as workers. This is false. They are not categorised as workers as they are not paid wages in cash or in the form of grains.
Reasoning: Women in India who carry out works like cooking, fetching water and fuelwood are not categorised as workers. This is true. They are not categorised as workers as they are not paid wages in cash or in the form of grains.

Women workers account for one-fourth of the rural workforce whereas in urban areas, they are just one-fifth of the workforce. Women carry out works like cooking, fetching water and fuelwood and participate in farm labour. They are not paid wages in cash or in the form of grains; at times they are not paid at all. For this reason, these women are not categorised as workers. Economists argue that these women should also be called workers.
