Costs of Doing a Job For Urban Women In Sri Lanka
Get PDF48p.This report addressed a knowledge gap by conducting quantitative surveys and FGDs to estimate monetary & non-monetary “costs of doing a job” for women in Sri Lanka, to understand if it is cost prohibitive to engage in work outside the home.
