However, the gender dimension of labor process in the service sector in India has remained relatively unexplored. There are certain activities in the service sector where females are more suitable than males. The service sector activities are usually divided into OAE and Establishments. In this work, an attempt has been made to segregate the productivity of females compared to that of males on the basis of both partial and complete separability models. An estimate has also been made of the female labor supply function. The results present a downward trend for female participation both in Own Account Enterprises (OAE) and Establishment. The higher the female shadow wage the lower their supply. This lends support to the supposition that female labor participation is a type of distress supply rather than a positive indicator of women?s empowerment. Analysis of the National Sample Service Organization data indicates that in all the sectors women are generally paid less than men. A micro-econometric study reveals that even in firms that employ solely female labor, incidence of full-time labor is deplorably poor. It is this feature that results in women workers? lower earnings and their deprivation. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zIndia 606 $aWomen services industries workers$zIndia 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment 615 0$aWomen services industries workers 676 $a331.1 700 $aSengupta$b Atanu$0943585 701 $aDatta$b Soumyendra Kishore$01762270 701 $aMondal$b Susanta$01762271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741155003321 996 $aProductivity, separability and deprivation$94202083 997 $aUNINA
