Study Shows 63% of Women in Rural India Work until Childbirth 🤰
A Jaccha-Baccha survey conducted across six north Indian states in June revealed that around 63% of women work until the last day of their pregnancy before they deliver a child. 706 women – 342 pregnant and 364 nursing mothers who had delivered a child in the preceding six months were interviewed. The survey noted that no help was available to 21 percent of the nursing women for their household work during their pregnancy. 2 of 3 child deaths in India is due to malnutrition as it has become rampant in rural India.

It is a problem when they have no choice and having to work may make the birth more risky. The death rates for mothers and babies in many countries are still much higher than they could be. It seems in some places women are mainly valued for their ability to have children, but they still have a lower social status than men. Of course they can contribute much more if they are given a chance. I speak as the father of a mature daughter.
