| Abstract: | Despite sustained economic growth and rising female educational attainment, India continues to record one of the lowest female labour force participation rates (FLFPR) in the world. This paradox has generated extensive debate in policy and academic circles, often explained through supply-side arguments centred on women’s preferences or household income effects. Drawing on secondary data from official sources, policy documents, and feminist economic literature, this paper advances a policy-facing gendered political economy analysis of women’s economic participation in India. It argues that women’s labour outcomes are shaped less by individual choice and more by structural constraints embedded in labour markets, unpaid care regimes, social norms, and policy design. The paper situates women’s work within intersections of gender, caste, and class, highlights the centrality of unpaid care work, and critically reviews recent policy approaches to women’s employment. It concludes by outlining concrete policy directions for recognising, redistributing, and supporting women’s work as a foundation for equitable and sustainable development. |
