Abstract:
A tribe is a social organization that lacks functional specialization, has territorial ties, and practices endogamy. Whether inherited or not, tribal leaders are bound together by a common language or dialect and are cognizant of social distance without experiencing the same social stigma that other castes and tribes do within the caste system. Women's socioeconomic standing is extremely important to both community and individual life. It is a multifaceted concept that can be quantified by combining different elements. The socioeconomic standing of tribal women is the subject of the current study. The location of the current study is Gopiballavpur II block in Jhargram District. This study is mainly based on primary data which have been collected from 4 villages by household survey. Usual statistical techniques are used to analyze the collected data. The study shows that the education level and economic condition which are the main indicators of the social status of tribal women are very low.
