Women Employment in Punjab: An Inter–District Analysis

Dr. Rakesh Kumar

Abstract :

The participation of women in the national economy both as producers and consumers is very limited. The status of women is directly connected with their economic position which depends on opportunities for participation in economic activities. Though the female work participation rate is increasing, but at a very low rate still it is much lower than the male work participation rate in both rural and urban areas. Punjab has the lowest female work participation rate in the country not only this, female unemployment rate is greater than male unemployment rate.
