520			_aExamining female self-employment in Haryana, the paper highlights the gender bias despite the state’s economic prosperity. It analyses factors influencing women’s entry into self-employment, revealing consistent male participation but notable variation among females. Binary logistic regression shows that age positively impacts self-employment up to 44 years, while education increases the likelihood. Large family size negatively affects women’s self-employment due to caregiving responsibilities. Policy recommendations include improving girls’ education, vocational training, family size regulation, and gender sensitisation. Supportive measures like microfinance and self-help groups are advised to enhance female economic independence and decision-making power. - Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/31/special-articles/changing-structure-female-self-employment-and-its.html
