Apparently the Census of India clubs housewives with prostitutes, beggars and prisoners as they are all deemed to not engage in economically productive work.The Supreme Court has taken strong exception to this and has held that housewives are employees and their ‘gratuitous’ services to their husbands and children can’t be taken for granted.Thanks to Remi for bringing this factoid to my notice.Ladies note that at least the highest court of the land acknowledges your unpaid labour!
