      The work of women in South Asia often remains invisible in official statistics and development research. This is partly due to the inadequacy of the national data systems and partly because existing sociocultural constraints restrict women's participation in economic activities outside the domain of the family. The pattern of female labour participation in South Asia has a distinct spatial dimension which cannot be explained in terms of economic rationale alone; the region-specific context defining women's roles remains vitally important. This text integrates different scales of analysis and methodologies with indigenous and Western contributors combining macro and micro studies. Highlighting the "public" and "private" domains of women's work, it discusses both the inadequacies of nationally published data at an aggregate level and religious, cultural and societal contraints on gender relations. The work explores the real connection between female autonomy and economic independence.
