This article focuses on the changing work profile of migrant women and the avenues available to them. Drawing from academic and ideological position that it is the relational domain within which women’s work needs to be placed, the paper looks at women in the workforce post migration to urban centers and how does it affect established gender stereotypes. Although stereotypical constructions of women’s place within the domain of household responsibilities continue to encode migrant women’s employment pattern in urban areas, the younger women seem to have moved away from these constructs, assisted further by educational attainment beyond a certain threshold.
