We live in different times. To think that women were once confined to their homes would be unimaginable to today’s generation. Things have changed radically, yet it cannot be credited much as change. A recent World Bank data highlights the same. There has been a drastic drop in women’s participation in workforce over the years. India’s economy has grown almost more than 10 per cent since 1990. Women in workforce who formed close to 30 per cent then, has now fallen to 19 per cent in 2021. This fall is much steep in the last 15 years and it coincides with the time that the economy grew over 4-times.
