UP Sees Dramatic Rise in Women's Workforce Participation

UP Sees Dramatic Rise in Women's Workforce Participation

In Uttar Pradesh, more women are joining the workforce.

Since 2017, the number of women working has jumped from 14% to 36%.

This is happening because the government made it a priority to keep women safe and help them find jobs.

Rules were created to make sure workplaces are safe for women, especially during night shifts.

Also, many women are starting their own small businesses with help from self-help groups.

This is changing how people think about women working and giving them more control over their lives.
