In a world where economic progress and gender equality are inextricably linked, Womennovator's Female Labour Force Participation (FLFP) campaign emerges as a beacon of hope and action. Dedicated to creating a supportive ecosystem for women venturing into the professional realm, this campaign is not just about numbers but about nurturing talent, cultivating leadership, and paving the way for a thriving female workforce. As we navigate through the challenges of the modern world, the FLFP campaign stands as a testament to what collective effort can achieve.
Why is Female Labor Force Participation Important?
Women make up half of the world's population, yet their participation in the workforce often lags behind men. In India, the literacy rate stands at approximately 76.32%, with a notable gap between men and women. Despite improvements, the employability gender gap remains a significant challenge, with a 50.9% difference in India alone.
The Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS) of 2023 reveals some promising progress. From a participation rate of 23.3% in 2017-18, women's workforce participation in India rose to 37% in 2022-23. However, there's still a long way to go, especially considering that 1 in 4 women aged 15-29 are unable to secure jobs. This gap highlights the urgent need for initiatives like the FLFP campaign.
