The goal of India to develop into a 30 trillion economy by the year 2047 is pegged on the successful integration of women into the workforce. Currently, the contribution of women to the GDP of the country is only approximately 18 per cent and close to 196 million of the workable women are not in the labour force. Although the participation of female labour force has increased to 41.7 per cent, a very low proportion of women are employed in formal and secure jobs.
