After the data analysis results shows that weaving is the major occupation of Mau city as there is a hub of power loom in which most of the female are involved. The data of the paper is derived from primary data collected through questionnaire. The study is mainly based on socio-economic status of power loom female weaver. The objective of this paper is to assess the female work participation and total working hours, and impact on their health in power loom sector of Mau city. It is a important site of power loom weaving. For the analysis select the study area Mau city, it is a part of Mau Nath Bhanjan district. They entered labour market after the introduction of new technologies of power loom. The female work participation is not considered as a labour in outside market due to cultural factors. That’s why female enter in the labour force to increase the wage and to raise the living condition of their family. When the labour wages are reduced the male member of the family has not sufficient income wage. After the development of power loom there is reduction of the production cost, as well as labour wages. Power loom is the modernized form of handloom. Cotton textile industry is divided into two sectors Handloom and Power loom. This made for cloth that was slow to produce, and often not even of decent quality.The cotton textile industry plays a very important role in the economy of India. Not all weavers were necessarily good at this, and the process was also tedious and slow, even for master weavers. In short, people had more money to spend on luxuries like new clothes, and had less time to weave their own clothes.īefore the Industrial Revolution (which enabled the technology for the power loom), weaving cloth for clothes was done by hand, usually a task done part-time by a family of craftspeople. Furthermore, even skilled weavers were prone to making mistakes while weaving, which made for poor quality clothes with holes. Though weaving was a time-honored tradition, weaving by hand simply couldn't produce enough textile and cloth to meet the new demand. People had less and less time to spend on old-fashioned things like weaving their own clothes, and so innovation was required. During the Industrial Revolution more and more people migrated from the countryside towards cities, in pursuit of jobs and careers beyond simple agriculture. With the Industrial Revolution there were many new inventions, and along with those inventions many different, new professions and jobs. This invention, in its perfected edition, made the weaving process faster, cheaper, and generally less complicated for textile manufacturers. Also, the process of weaving was simplified considerably, allowing for less skilled laborers to operate the looms, cheapening labor costs for the manufacturers. Quite simply, this innovation sped up the process of weaving cloth immensely, allowing for much more cloth to be produced, and at a much faster rate. Power looms kept this basic process, but replaced the power source needed to draw the warp threads with steam power, reducing the skill required to weave the cloth. With handlooms, foot pedals lifted and lowered the warp (tightly strung threads) while the weft (weaker threads) were drawn in between the warp threads, creating cloth. Power looms worked very similarly to the original handlooms. The original design was flawed, and needed improvements. The power loom was a steam-powered loom that mechanized the process, reducing the need for humans to oversee the weaving process. A loom is a device designed to weave threads into cloth.
