Why are Indian Women not employed ? | Ashwini Deshpande

Dropping out, Being pushed out, or Can't get in? - Why women in the #Indianlabour force are few and declining Women's labour force participation rate has been stubbornly low in India and has been declining over the last two decades. This presents a puzzle as India has several of the preconditions that have elsewhere been associated with increasing the participation of women in paid work. This has led to a strong suggestion that factors such as conservative social norms, #marriage, #childcare responsibilities, sexual violence, the stigma associated with women having to work outside the home -- supply-side factors -- have kept women out of the labour force. This talk presents evidence that reveals that women enter and exit paid employment frequently over short periods. The volatility is greater for #Dalit and #Adivasi women that don't share the social norms and taboos associated with upper-caste women. This evidence contests the mainstream narrative of women voluntarily dropping out of the labour force due to an increase in conservative social norms Women's employment has suffered disproportionately more compared to men's as a result of large and sudden negative economic shocks such as the 2016 demonetisation or Covid-19 induced lockdowns. This suggests that we need to focus on the demand-side story and develop appropriate policy responses.
