Abstract
Most of the studies in India on labor
force participation of women
considered the country as a whole
ignoring the vast diversity within
India.This study narrows
its scopeon one state,viz.
Maharashtra. Within Maharashtra,
there are disparities among
different regions.The study uses
data from the National Sample
Survey Office (NSSO) 68th Round
for analysis.The paper offers two
competing Probit models; first
takes into account the impact of
7 variables – sub round, sector,
gender, region, relation to the
household head, religion and
education.The second model includes
marital status and the social
group consisting of 54 micro
segments, based on all possible
combinations using the values of
four variables – sector, marital
status, social group and education.
