Employment scenario in rural and urban Uttar Pradesh: recent evidence from PLFS survey

Author(s) Ashutosh Upadhyay
Country India
Abstract This research paper looks at the employment and unemployment situation of women with the help of preliminary data to recent data of PLFS survey (2017-2023) based on the results of the female workforce participation in rural and urban Uttar Pradesh. In this research paper, the employment status of women in Uttar Pradesh has been compared with the employment status of the country in both rural and urban areas which highlights that the situation in state is more worrisome than the country. The impact of basic differences in rural and urban areas in the state is clearly visible on female workforce participation. The rural areas of the state have higher female workforce participation as compared to urban areas, mainly due to the absorption of women`s supply by the agricultural sector. The continuous widespread reduction in regular wage employment in urban Uttar Pradesh is a serious concern. Pandemic COVID 19 has created an even more adverse situation for the already worrisome female workforce participation of the state. Occupational distribution of employment for women in the state is a widespread of casual employment and unpaid workers in the informal sector, which needs to be changed significantly. The challenge of converting unpaid workers into regular wage employment and own account workers in a wide range of self-employment is also in front of the state and country. At a time, when India is reaping the demographic dividend, there is a need to reform policies as well as formulate new policies according to the current situation and challenges of women’s employment in Uttar Pradesh.
Keywords Female labor force participation, female working population ratio, female workforce participation, Unemployment rate, regular wage employment
