Analyzing gender disparities urban-rural workforce participation in India

Abstract

Labor force participation rate is an integral component in analyzing distinct phases of transition in the process of development. Through our study, we have tried to highlight the urban-rural disparity in participation rate of male and their feminine counterparts. Furthermore, our study also sheds light on the factors that contribute to this disparity, such as differences in educational attainment, cultural norms, and access to job opportunities. We believe that addressing these underlying factors can play a crucial role in promoting gender equality and inclusive economic growth. Additionally, our findings can assist policymakers in designing targeted interventions to reduce gender disparities and increase labor force participation.
