In 2017, India’s rate of female labour force participation dropped to the lowest level since Independence. Four out of five Indian women of the working age are neither working, nor seeking employment. 

To start this course on Decent Work for Women, we identify two important questions: (1) Why is female labour force participation lower than male labour force participation, all over the world? (2) Why is it especially low in India? 

This video is the first lecture from the module on gender inequality and work. To enrol in this course on Decent Work for Women, visit www.nagriklearning.com.
