Question
According to the Census of India 2011, what percentage of
women participated in the workforce nationally?Solution
The Census of India 2011 recorded that only 25.51% of women in India were economically active. This means just over a quarter of the female population was either employed or actively seeking employment at the time. This low participation rate reflects various societal and economic factors, including traditional gender roles, limited educational and skill development opportunities for women, and fewer suitable job prospects. In rural areas especially, women often work in informal sectors or perform unpaid family labor, which may not be fully captured in official statistics.
