Many sociocultural norms have shaped women’s participation in the formal economy based explicitly on conventional gender roles in Asia.
The unequal burden of care work is a significant structural barrier preventing women from joining the formal workforce in developing and developed countries.
Apart from this, lack of safety in public spaces; unavailability of care infrastructure; and difficulty accessing productive resources such as land, finance, and digital technology pull them further down the economic ladder.
Despite the low percentage of women in India’s formal workforce, a large proportion of women are engaged in agriculture, informal sectors, and small business-based entrepreneurship; however, this excludes them from formal employment, which is disadvantageous for gender equity and socioeconomic well-being.
Recognizing and measuring women’s labor through official government data is the first step in supporting women to enter the workforce.
Enabling full participation in the workforce is essential to Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), which needs to focus on equitable and sustainable growth.
