India sets new target to raise female labour‑force participation to 55% by 2030
On 6 November 2025, the Ministry of Labour & Employment of India announced a plan to raise female labour‑force participation (FLFP) to 55 % by 2030 through skill‑training, workplace reforms and improved transport for women. India’s workforce has long lagged behind in female participation, and boosting FLFP is seen as vital for sustainable growth and reducing gender gaps. Analysts say success will depend on formal‑sector job creation and improved social infrastructure.
