SBI Research Finds Women-Led Households Linked to More Stable Employment in India

SBI Research's analysis of India's 2025 Periodic Labour Force Survey data reveals that women-led households are increasingly engaged in higher-quality employment. Female household heads have a 4.4% higher likelihood of regular wage jobs and a 4.2% lower chance of casual labour, with stronger effects in urban areas. Education and household agency contribute to this shift, though disparities persist across regions and social groups. The findings highlight the role of economic autonomy in promoting more stable employment for women.
