Abstract

The issue of low levels of women’s workforce participation rate (WPR) in India has come to occupy a central place in academic and policy circles (Klasen and Pieters 2015; Deshpande and Singh 2021; Mehrotra and Sinha 2017; Desai and Joshi 2019). There are several reasons cited for the low levels of participation by women, including supply-side constraints such as the burden of care, mobility restrictions, and norms, and demand-side issues such as the lack of good jobs.
