On 6 November 2025, the Ministry of Labour & Employment of India announced that the country aims to raise female labour‑force participation (FLFP) to 55% by the end of 2030. The plan involves policy reforms, increased skill‑training, workplace support and safe transport systems for women. Given India’s large working‑age population, boosting female employment is seen as key to sustaining long‑term growth and narrowing gender‑employment gaps.
