Education influences the type of occupation. Sixty-six percent of women and 94 percent of men
who are employed and have never attended school work in agriculture. Eighty-eight percent of women
and 63 percent of men with secondary or higher education are employed in nonagricultural occupations.
3.7 EMPLOYER AND FORM OF EARNINGS
Table 3.8 shows that nearly half of the working women (48 percent) are self-employed, 43
percent work for a family member, and only 9 percent work for someone else. Almost all working
women in rural areas are either self-employed or work for a family member, while 40 percent of working
women in urban areas work for a nonfamily member. Similarly, less educated women and women
engaged in agriculture are much more likely to work for a family member.
