    Women entrepreneurs play an important role in the economic development of India. Women are the most part seen as home creators with little to do with economy or business. But this situation is changing, women across the world have overcome every single negative opinion and have substantiated themselves certainly in all circles of life including the most unpredictable and enormous universe of business enterprise. The growth of the self-employed women has changed the demographic characteristics of the business environment.

    (International Review of Modern Sociology, 1999) Audinaryana N; Sheela J; Kavitha N
    Living arrangements of the rural female elderly in India is at the state of deplorable condition Findings from selected villages in southern India suggest that a large proportion of the elderly widowed women live with children, whereas slightly more than half of the married live by themselves (i.e., with spouse only). Birvarate analysis reveal that while the increased monthly income and availability of surviving children are likely to encourage the older people to co-reside with their own children, irrespective of marital status, higher occupational status of the elderly reduces the co-residence with children among widowed. The logistic regression analysis highlighted that women with higher monthly family income, not working, suffering with physical disability and belong to lower caste tend to increase the probability of living with children. On the other hand, the tendency to live with children among the currently married elderly women has increased with the availability of son and their level of education.
