India’s Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) has risen significantly from 23% in 2017–18 to 42% in 2023–24. This increase reflects a major improvement in gender inclusion and economic participation for women in the country. Over the past decade, India recorded the sharpest rise in women’s labour force participation among BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). The growth highlights ongoing social and economic reforms, initiatives to promote women’s employment, and broader efforts to create an inclusive workforce that supports sustainable economic development and reduces gender disparities in the labour market.
