Abstract
The purpose of the study is to capture the lived experiences of working women in the informal sector using two brief case studies. The objective of the study is to analyze the conditions of working women and how the social construction of gender increases the burden of working women as compared with men. Though the informal sector itself is a very broad category, the study is limited to two categories worker, viz., work as a sanitary worker and work as a security guard on a contractual basis. The findings of the study depict how the social construction of gender and gendered norms shape the lives of these working women and induce their burden of work. The findings also show that the intersection gender, caste and poverty also intensify the problem in the lives of these women. In conclusion, it was argued that the women who were working in an informal sector have triple burden - one is due to their work, second is due to the informal sector and third because she is women. Though the role of government and their policy were very important to address concern of women who are working in informal sector, it's pertinent to change our attitude towards these women and treat them with dignity and respect.
