| Abstract: | World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently released Gender Gap Index-2019, that shows India has slipped four places to rank 112th globally in terms of gender gap amid widening disparity in terms of women's health and survival and economic participation and has slipped to 149th in economic participation. According to the Deloitte report titled Empowering Women & Girls in India the female labour force participation (FLPR) has had a decadal fall from 36.7 per cent in 2005 to 26 per cent in 2018, with 95 per cent (195 million) women employed in the unorganised sector. It s very evident from above data, that, gender gap is still winding in the country. That can be removed or narrowed down by taking proactive gender friendly policies and legislations. Economic independence of women is also one of the affirmative steps in removing gender gap. Hence labour force participation of women needs to be promoted. Women’s labour force participation in India has fallen and is among the lowest in the world. It is only slightly above Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The 2017 amendments to the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961 were a bold policy action to help solve the problem. |
