Women’s employment in India contributes significantly to social and economic growth. Economically, it expands the workforce, enhances household income, and drives GDP growth through increased productivity and consumption. Socially, it promotes gender equality and empowers women economically and socially, leading to improved health and education outcomes for families. Women’s participation in the workforce also fosters innovation and diversity, crucial for sustained economic development in a competitive global environment.Moreover, it leverages India’s demographic dividend by utilizing the skills and talents of its large female population. However, challenges such as gender discrimination, unequal pay, and limited access to education and skills training persist and hinder the full realization of women’s economic potential. Addressing these challenges through supportive policies, inclusive workplace practices, and targeted interventions is essential for maximizing the positive impacts of women’s employment on India’s overall social and economic growth trajectory.
