ABSTRACT : In most developing countries ,the period since 1980 has witnessed increasing participation of women in recognised and highly paid employment. One of the reason for the increase in female labour force participation is increasing trend and also the increased rate of education level. Even if a women is employed ,she may not have control over the money she earns .though this money often plays an important role in the maintenance of the household. In Indian culture women are expected to devote all of their time, energy, and earnings to their family. Men on the other hand are expected to spend time and atleast some of their earnings on activities outside the household. However the extent to which women retain control over their own income varies from household to household and region to region. In this study we are trying to discusss the women’s contribution to the total household income and their their spending choices and preferred investment avenues in Chazhur panchayath of Thrissur district in Kerala.

Key words: women employment , spending choice, investment avenues.
