| description | Women’s labor force participation (LFP) has been consistently low over the past three decades in India. This is despite rapid economic growth, better educational attainment, and a decline in fertility. The literature predicts a U-shaped relationship between economic growth and women’s LFP. As a country’s income increases, women who were engaged in sustenance-work, usually involving manual labor, drop out of the labor force. They re-join the labor force after receiving education and gaining access to white collar jobs. However, India is an extreme outlier compared to other developing countries of similar wealth levels. |
