Young married women are sleeping less and working more | Prof. Vidya Mahambare writes for The Print

Prof. Vidya Mahambare along with her co-authors Sowmya Dhanaraj and Shambhavi Chandra has authored an article titled 'Young married women are sleeping less and working more in Indian homes, time-use data shows' that has been published by The Print.

The article highlights how young Indian women spend their day and how this pattern changes as a result of marriage and employment can throw light on constraints emerging out of gender norms. Specifically, understanding the extent of the trade-off between leisure and work (both paid work and housework) for India’s young women can help us appreciate why they may not enter or retreat from paid work.
