Families are the building blocks of our society. They are the places where people share their resources, care for each other, and nurture the next generation. Families often play a crucial role in our identity and sense of belonging. The economic development of a nation or a world depends on each family that belongs to it. For the better prosperity of each family, it is necessary to work hard for every member of that family. There is no gender inequality in any way, especially from an economic point of view. However, married life has a gendered impact on women's and men's labor market outcomes, such as their labor force participation and the type of jobs that they hold, etc. It is through this study that we can understand the economic gap in a family, the type of occupation, the challenges that married women face, and whether there is any gender inequality in the family. The study was conducted with special reference to Changanacherry municipality of Kottayam, Kerala. The study only includes families that are solely dependent on the income of one spouse or both spouses and does not include the income of other members.
