Gender Gap Widens in Rural Agriculture and Mining Employment in India
Recent data from India's Periodic Labour Force Survey reveals a widening gender gap in rural agricultural employment, with more men shifting to non-farm jobs while women remain predominantly in farming and informal work. Women's workforce participation has increased, mainly in agriculture and unpaid family roles, often in less secure conditions. In the mining sector, women constitute a small minority, mostly in informal roles, highlighting structural barriers and the need for inclusive policies to improve gender equity across these industries.
