-The Beedi and Cigar Workers' (Conditions of employment) act,
The beedi-making industry absorbs, among all others, the most women after agriculture. Here
male-female labour is clearly differentiated. In the factories where the provisions of the Beedi and
Cigar-making Act apply, men are employed as packers. Women on the other hand are engaged in
piece-rate work of beedi-rolling at their own homes so that they are exempt from the provisions of the
Act. The beedi-making industry is the classic case of women in low-paid unorganised work and men in
similar but well-paid organised work of a similar nature. Girl children also work along with their
 mothers.
