Abstract

This study investigates the complex dynamics of female labor force participation (FLF) in India, with a focus on trends and relevant factors from 2000 to2022 collected from World Development Indicator provided by World Bank. Annual changes and compound annual growth rates of FLF has assessed using the year-on-year growth rate and compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The study uses Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis to evaluate the link between FLF and its major drivers like fertility rate and marriage score. The result shows, India's female labour force participation rose in 2001 to 2005 before declining in 2006. This decrease has anticipated owing to the COVID-19 pandemic's economic impact in 2020. CAGR (-0.960) shows a decline in female labour force participation in India for the entire period, which may be due to cultural norms, access to education and employment, and socioeconomic inequalities. FLF is positively affected by Fertility rate, and marriage score.
