520 _aThe female workforce participation rate has been steadily increasing in India since 2017–18. Examining the reasons behind this trend, the findings indicate a worsening nature for female employment in India, where most women entered the workforce as unpaid or subsidiary workers. Real earnings for workers have generally been declining or stagnant since 2017–18. Additionally, there has been a decline in real household expenditure from 2017–18 to 2023–24. These findings suggest a distress-driven increase in female employment after 2017–18.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/8/special-articles/increasing-female-employment-india.html
