For the women who can overcome such societal barriers, structural constraints make it difficult for them to cut their teeth at better paying and more stable jobs.

They have very little support at work, and even if they do, they rarely use it.” Even today, women are expected to run their households and the idea of leaving home to work is considered more of a choice than a necessity.
