India has the highest levels of women to public office compared to other emerging markets: The nation has sworn in the leading Minister 16a, Mehbooba Mufti only. However, it is far behind its competitors in the participation rate of women in the labor market. Not surprisingly answer little information why. But one reason stands out: women can not go to work.
India is far to participate beyond the point where economists could expect the high number of women starting in the workforce. Instead, have 25 million women, leaving the Indian labor in the last 10 years. Today only 27% of Indian women are in the workforce, the lowest participation rate second women's work in South Asia to Pakistan. And although the share of workers is growing in this country, India falls.
Women in India are always healthy and even formed, but less work
Limited mobility is one of the major challenges that many women face when they start a job. The road network in India now covers more than 4.69 million kilometers, an increase of 39% compared to 10 years ago. Between the years 2007 to 2011, the additional 600,074 kilometers alone. Car ownership is also increasing, sold more than 2 million cars in India last year, an increase of 9.8% compared to 2014.
Transit systems are also expanding. However, these improvements do not lead to a significant improvement in mobility and the ability to do the work of women in the infrastructure. And when women work outside the home, on average, they do not move as far from work than men. In short: The farther away from home opportunity, women are less likely to access.
Indian women want to work, but hampered by a lack of skills, social norms
Our research results for the development of policy states that Indian women want to participate in the labor force at higher rates. But they are limited by the lack of skills and social norms that restrict their mobility.
Women nonfarm operates normally carried out informal work in the family business. It does not necessarily reflect your preferences, but also highlights the structural factors that prevent women are employed outside the home. Highlight of the study data, the inequalities and a pilot survey was in Bhopal and Sehore National Example securing 91% below the poverty line, female respondents (18-25 years Landjugend performed) think that women who leave home -yet almost 70% of these women previous year were unemployed to work.
Women in India continue to face reduced mobility
In India, cultural settings, whether it be different accompanied good for women to leave the house on their own decision, and whether they should of travel depending on the region.
As Indian men force women
With two rounds of the survey on the Indian Human Development (IHDS) found that 79.9% of women said they to go without her husband or other members of the permission of the health center, were not allowed family. In 2012, 33% just go for medical care were not allowed, as compared to a marginal improvement in 2005 (35%).

Nationally, the survey also shows that IHDS 51.7% of women think that in the Community's common man to beat his wife if she leaves the house by themselves. Even if a woman has the right to leave the house, the distance is still a relevant restriction. In a sample of participants Bonus India, 62% of unemployed women indicated that they were willing to emigrate in search of work, but 70% said they feel unsafe to work outside the home.
The consequences of rapid industrialization and India for women in rural areas are urbanized with disabilities in the context. Forecasts show that most economic growth in India will be created in urban areas in the next 15 years: In 2010, the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that Indian cities could generate 70% of India's GDP and 70% of net 2030 new jobs created, and an increase of almost four ~~ POS = TRUNC of stimulating per capita income. At present, the mobility propose statistics that women outside the major urban centers in India face exclusion from future urban growth.
women of desire for productive work is not just rhetoric. There are places in the economy of India, where women are well represented in the workforce, but these tend to be areas where women around can work at home. Projects under the Security Act Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment created (MGNREGA of) Public Works, quite successful in attracting women in the workplace. While only 27% of women work in rural areas outside the home, the participants MGNREGA were 51% of women in the year, 2014.
Several factors make it attractive MGNREGA for women, in 30% of participants including participation. More by accident than design MGNREGA largely eliminates the limitations of mobility, which are structured to thousands of sites of community projects. In addition to the location of the project sites in the area, where women living in the countryside MGNREGA also equal pay for equal work for men and women provides. Finally: the MGNREGA projects are labor unskilled labor and therefore accessible to women with no experience.
How we spend our India in December have many women, women predominantly rural-express concern that would not have done the necessary professional skills, which they like. The Indian government has tightened recently priority a large number of Indian youth in the labor market and cities across India and make India skill.
Both include quotas a certain proportion of students are to ensure women. These plans have a unique opportunity to bring a lot of young women in the workforce, but often require women to go to their home town for practice after training, and there are support no mechanism migrants when they were placed on the market.
MGNREGA can be the first step to let the woman out of the house. The Challenge Skill India will help women succeed also may be a greater economic opportunities and others. increase educational level of women and the economic integration of women. However, the participation of women in the labor market is back, and our data show that the mobility of women also declined. This needs to be addressed if the women of India must have access to the same economic opportunities as their brothers.
