Self-employment among women was up 14 percentage points to nearly 65% between the quarter ended June 2018 and the quarter ended December 2022, according to a report.
A recent rise in women's participation in India's labour force was led by self-employment, likely driven by distress more than economic growth, a study said on Wednesday.
Self-employment among women was up 14 percentage points to nearly 65% between the quarter ended June 2018 and the quarter ended December 2022, according to a report titled "State of Working 2023" released by the Bangalore-based Azim Premji University.
"If participation rises due to economic growth and rising labour demand, (it) has very different implications than if it rises due to falling household incomes, which force women into self-employment," the report said.
