India Advances Women-Centred Livelihoods with Entrepreneurship Campaign and Economic Leadership Focus
India is advancing women-centred livelihoods by shifting focus from participation to economic leadership and resilience. Rural female labour force participation rose to 45.9% in 2025, yet women remain concentrated in low-income sectors. The government launched the second phase of a national entrepreneurship campaign targeting self-help group women, aiming to train 500,000 women, formalize 50,000 enterprises, and enhance market integration. Efforts also address structural challenges like time poverty and aim to strengthen producer institutions and digital access.
