South Asian Journal of Socio-Political StudiesSummary: Female labourforce participation has been low compared to that of males for decades and we have evidence that FLFPR is declining. But based on the PLFS data from 2017-18 and 2022-23 there is a slight increasing pattern in FLFPR by 12.3 per cent in rural and 4.3 per cent in urban at all India. In this paper we are analysing the female work participation in agriculture and allied sector in Kerala using NSSO data from 2015-2016 to 2022-23. By analysing the trends and patterns of the female labourforce, it is argued that there is a reverse structural change in the female workforce to agriculture after 2019-20. It is probably distress driven. In other words, it can be argued that there is an increasing female labourforce participation during the period of Covid in the agriculture sector. But they are not returning to other sectors in the post Covid period. They were continuing in the low paid agriculture sector.- Reproduced
