Factors influencing sustainable livelihood of weaker section women in Bangalore city


Leelavathy AM

A livelihood is made up of the skills, assets, and activities that are required to produce a source of income. Sustainability is the ability to withstand and recover from stresses and shocks while maintaining or improving skills, assets, and activities today and in the future without jeopardising the future of the living or existence. There is a scarcity of research on sustainable livelihoods in the Indian context, where the sustainability of the weaker sections is measured and remedial action is performed. The aim of the study is to identify the various factors influencing the sustainable livelihood of women of the weaker section of the society. Descriptive research strategy was used; the data was collected through a well-structured questionnaire. Cochran formula of unknown population was used and a sample size of [N=100] respondents was considered. Women who are working for the last 5 years under women entrepreneurs were selected on convenient sampling basis. The questionnaire was pre-tested with 12 women, and only minor modifications were made. Scale validity and reliability of the questionnaire was affirmed. The factors influencing sustainable livelihood were analysed using the AMOS R software- Confirmatory factor analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the responses of the women and it is seen that the women have strongly agreed to Vulnerability as one of the factors, which hinders their sustainable livelihood. The results of the study Women's long-term survival is influenced by factors such as health and food security. Credits and family expenses have a negative impact on women's capacity to keep a steady income.
