Abstract

India’s women labor force participation rate (LFPR) has sharply declined to 23.3 %. As per PLFS the trend is particularly sharp in rural areas. Women are moving away from self- employment towards salaried employment, though self-employment continues to be the highest employment provider. Women LFPR at all levels of education has declined; the ‘U-Shape’ hypothesis holds true as women with middle level of education are moving out from the labor force faster. Interstate analysis suggests that there are wide differences in LFPR among the stat es. High growth states might be generating more economic opportunities for literate f emale workers whereas among the low growth states, women might be compelled to participate in labor force.
