The economic development of a country depends on the growth of Industry and technological development. The transition from an agriculture-oriented economy to an industry-based seems to be a major landmark. Building construction is a concomitant factor of industrial development. Construction activities create larger employment opportunities for a considerable number of workers. The construction workers are mainly working in informal or unorganized sectors. Basic problems faced in this field include disparity in wages, health issues, discrimination, economic problems, etc. The main objective of the study is to analyze the economic and social conditions of women working in the construction sector. The study reveals the weaker economic conditions of women construction workers. Lack of fixed income and varying working hours continues to haunt them. Their income is found insufficient for their subsistence. The study also revealed that out of the sampled women construction workers most of them depend on loans for meeting their needs of existence. They are not getting work on all days of the month and hence occupational safety is found to be lacking.
