This study aims to explore prospects of economic wellbeing through women
handicraft industry. Badin is an underdeveloped area despite having
treasures of resources, woman is one of them especially the skilled ones.
The industry will empower women and they will contribute in economic
development rather playing a passive role, their dependence on welfare
program and philanthropy will also be decreased. The study sought to
identify problems, weaknesses and opportunities that affect the industry
and need to be worked on. Data were collected through interview method
from the sample of 40 Handicrafts women in Badin District. The industry in
Badin is found to be at low ebb and requires a serious consideration. A
meager amount is earned by the women. Lack of awareness and education
is found to be the main hurdle behind their non-profitable vocation.
Removing middlemen and having their own shops would be profitable.
NGOs and vocational institutes should help the women in their skill
development and promotion of products through exhibition and export.
Most of the women were found hesitant to borrow. Easy and interest free
financing schemes with conducive counseling are required.
