00:00I agree that some women do not go to work because workplaces are unsafe or because workplaces
00:04are not paying them enough or there is discrimination at workplaces so some women are not going
00:08to work.
00:09But tell me, was there lesser discrimination in 1985?
00:13Then how is it possible that more and more women, educated women, empowered women are
00:18opting to sit at home?
00:20Because the home is such a comfortable place, especially if there is sufficient money at
00:25home.
00:26And that's the same thing that even a man would do.
00:29Let's say somebody comes and puts 100 crore in your bank account, there would be many
00:34amongst you who might decide to opt out of this program and just sit and lead a happy
00:38life.
00:39When you know that you have easy access to comfortable money, then there is no incentive
00:45to work.
00:46I am not saying that is the case with all women, but increasingly a large cross-section
00:52of women are following this route.
00:54And it is a very very dangerous route, very dangerous route.
