Assam is a major state of North-Eastern Region (NER) of India, located in the south of the eastern Himalayas. The state is comprised of the Brahmaputra and the Barak valley and the valley of Brahmaputra is generally known to the Assam proper. For administrative convenience, the state is divided into 33 districts. Out of 33 nos. of districts Sivasagar and Dibrugarh districts are significant due to their diversity in labour markets. In Assam most of the work forces are under the unorganized sector. Due to lack of employability to the women workforce in Assam, most of the women workers are easily entered in the unorganized sector and try to find out the subsistence level of livelihood.
