Sociological Analysis of Female Labour Force Participation (Flfpr) in India: Age-Group, Social Groups & Religion

Abstract

Female labour force participation is a driver of growth, hence participation rates suggest a country's potential for faster growth. However, the relationship between women's labor-force participation and larger development results is complicated. The study was carried out to track women's employment participation rates at a sociological variable-based level, as shown by the FLFPR (female labour force participation rate) in the National Statistical Office's (NSO) recently released Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) annual report 2018-19. In the labour force were around 55.1 percent of rural males, 19.7 percent of rural females, 56.7 percent of urban males, and 16.1 percent of urban females. Female participation is lower than male participation in this study, but rural female participation are greater than urban female percentages. Despite this study, it also demonstrates the female labour force participation rate among sociological determinants, with ST women having a substantially higher participation rate than other categories in India.
