520			_aFemale labour force participation is often linked to the enhancement of economic opportunities and greater influence in household decision-making. This study examines the impact of marriage on female labour force participation rates (LFPRs) in India from 2004–05 to 2022–23 using the NSSO EUS-PLFS datasets and employs an IV-probit model for estimating its various determinants. The estimates indicate that the female LFPR in India has exhibited a prolonged period of sluggishness with a mild surge in recent periods. The empirical findings indicate that in India, there is a discernible pattern wherein women exhibit a propensity to disengage from the workforce after entering into marriage. The phenomenon suggests that the increasing prevalence of women taking on household chores and other responsibilities creates additional barriers for married women. The IV-probit estimates indicate a noteworthy influence of marriage on the diminishing female labour participation in India. This calls for integrated policy initiatives that ensure flexible work environments for married females that reduce their burden of unpaid domestic work along with adequate skill training programmes that enhance their employment opportunities.- Reproduced https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41027-025-00580-2
