By examining India Human Development Survey data from 2004-05 and 2011-12, it&#8217;s evident that women have lower entry rates and higher exit rates compared to men, both in the short and long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Recent studies show that the female labour force participation rate (FLFPR) in India has not increased over the past two decades. National Sample Survey data from 1984-2012 reveal a decline in rural FLFPR, while urban FLFPR has remained stable. This is unexpected since economic prosperity, a decreasing gender gap in education, and a falling fertility rate should have led to increased participation. This stagnation or decline has prompted extensive research. On one side, discussions have focused on identifying the reasons behind this trend, as outlined in Stephan Klasen&#8217;s I4I post. On the other side, studies like those by Deshpande and Kabeer (2019) have questioned the accuracy of measuring women&#8217;s work, suggesting that their economic activities may not be fully captured in existing surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Dynamic_Nature_of_Women_Employment_Participation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The Dynamic Nature of Women Employment Participation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation.png\" alt=\"The Dynamic Nature of Employment Participation by the Best Sociology Optional coaching in Delhi, Sociology Optional Coaching by Vikash Ranjan sir at Triumph IAS, UPSC Sociology\u00a0Optional\" width=\"2490\" height=\"2148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation.png 2490w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-1024x883.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-150x129.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-768x663.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-1536x1325.png 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Dynamic-Nature-of-Women-Employment-Participation-2048x1767.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2490px) 100vw, 2490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">An often overlooked aspect in current literature is that labour force participation (LFP) is dynamic, with individuals entering and exiting the workforce at different times. This is particularly significant for women who engage in various short-term activities in the labour market. To truly understand women&#8217;s work, it&#8217;s essential to track their activities over time, which requires panel data\u2014information on the same individuals across multiple time points. Most existing studies analyze aggregate trends and determinants using repeated cross-sectional data, which doesn&#8217;t allow for investigating who is entering or exiting the workforce. In new research, we examine the dynamics of employment status for working-age women in India using nationally representative data from the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) that collected information on the same individuals in 2004-05 and 2011-12 (Sarkar, Sahoo, and Klasen 2019). This panel dataset enables us to estimate the rates and determinants of labour market entry and exit for women in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">It&#8217;s important to differentiate between continual (persistent) employment status (either employed or unemployed) and transitory employment, as they have different policy implications. For instance, those continuously out of the labour force may need to challenge social norms to enter, while those already employed may need supportive policies to sustain their employment. Additionally, LFP decisions can exhibit intertemporal dependence, meaning participation in the current period may be influenced by the previous period&#8217;s status. Employment involves costs such as job search and, for women, overcoming cultural barriers within their families and society. Conversely, being employed can empower women by raising their aspirations, preference for independence, or expected consumption standards. Thus, the factors driving the decision to enter the labour force may differ from those influencing the decision to exit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Women_Employment_Entry_and_Exit_Rates\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Women Employment Entry and Exit Rates<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">To estimate employment transitions, the sample focuses on women aged 25-55 in 2005, with a follow-up in 2012. The entry rate is defined as the proportion of women who became employed by 2012 out of all women who were not employed in 2005. Similarly, the exit rate is defined as the proportion of women who left employment by 2012 out of all women who were employed in 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">In 2005, about 50% of the women in the sample were employed. Over the next seven years, 21% of these women exited employment. In comparison, 90% of men in the sample were initially employed in 2005, and only 6.7% of them were no longer employed by 2012. This indicates that women not only have a lower participation rate but also a higher exit rate than men. Among the women not employed in 2005, only 25% were employed by 2012, whereas the entry rate for men was 52%. Thus, between the two survey rounds over seven years, women were three times more likely to exit employment and half as likely to enter employment compared to men. The figures are particularly stark for urban areas, where only 24% of women were employed at the baseline, with an exit rate of 29% and an entry rate of 13%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_the_Dynamics_of_Womens_Employment_Status\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Factors Affecting the Dynamics of Women\u2019s Employment Status<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status.png\" alt=\"Factors Affecting the Dynamics of Women\u2019s Employment Status by the Best Sociology Optional coaching in Delhi, Sociology Optional Coaching by Vikash Ranjan sir at Triumph IAS, UPSC Sociology\u00a0Optional\" width=\"2238\" height=\"2148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status.png 2238w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-300x288.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-1024x983.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-150x144.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-768x737.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-1536x1474.png 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Factors-Affecting-the-Dynamics-of-Womens-Employment-Status-2048x1966.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2238px) 100vw, 2238px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Our analysis shows that women experience significant transitions in their employment status, indicating a lower attachment to the labour market compared to men. We also identify various factors influencing women&#8217;s decisions to enter or exit employment and test if the same factors affect both entry and exit. Using panel data, we examine the impact of both baseline characteristics and factors that change over time. For example, having a newborn child between the two survey rounds increases the probability of exiting employment by 3 percentage points. The exit rate also rises if an elderly member (above 65 years) joins the household, suggesting women may leave their jobs to care for children and elderly family members. Interestingly, if the mother- or father-in-law lives with the family, women are less likely to leave their jobs, possibly because the in-laws share household responsibilities, enabling women to continue working. However, these factors do not influence women&#8217;s entry into employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">We find that a household&#8217;s financial status significantly impacts women&#8217;s decisions to enter and exit employment. If other household members&#8217; assets or income increase, women are less likely to enter and more likely to exit the workforce. This suggests women are seen as secondary earners who participate in the labour market only when needed to supplement household income. Similarly, higher entry and lower exit rates are observed among women from disadvantaged castes and households where male members have low education levels. Local economic development also encourages entry and reduces exit, likely by increasing labour demand, particularly in the southern states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">As a policy-relevant factor, we explore the impact of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA). The intensity of MNREGA implementation significantly reduces women&#8217;s exit rates from the workforce but has no effect on women&#8217;s entry. Since MNREGA provides unskilled manual labour at minimum wage, it may not attract women who are not used to such work. However, by expanding employment opportunities, MNREGA helps those already in the workforce to continue participating. In addition to MNREGA, other factors like education, household wealth, household size, education of male members, changes in the number of elderly members, and new births have different effects on entry and exit. Thus, our analysis indicates that the factors influencing entry and exit decisions are not symmetrical.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Women_Employment_in_India_Increasing_Importance_of_Analysing_Transitions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Women Employment in India: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Increasing Importance of Analysing Transitions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The IHDS data, collected over two rounds seven years apart, primarily enables the analysis of long-term transitions. However, what about shorter-term changes? Utilizing the 2017-18 Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), which is a panel dataset, we can estimate transitions across quarters within the same year for urban areas. We find that about 24% of women (compared to 92% of men) are in the labour force in a given quarter. Over 10% of these women exit the labour force in the next quarter, whereas only 1% of men do. Among the women who exit, approximately 70% remain out of the labour force even in the subsequent quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Therefore, both short- and long-term exit rates from employment among women are notably high. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified research focus on the issue of exiting and returning to employment. Our study highlights that, even under normal circumstances, women&#8217;s attachment to the labour market is much lower than men&#8217;s\u2014they are more likely to exit and less likely to re-enter. While low FLFPR is a major concern, it is also crucial to consider the women who overcome barriers to enter the labour market only to leave at a high rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Notes:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Panel data are data that measure the same set of observations (individuals in this case) repeatedly across time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Repeated cross-sectional data collect information on different sets of individuals at various points in time; thus, how the status of a particular individual or group changes over time cannot be observed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Policies such as parental leave benefits or flexibility in working hours may directly help employed women to continue their job, while these policies may have lesser effect on women who remain out of the labor force due to social norms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Labour economists have referred to this phenomenon as the \u201clack of symmetry\u201d in employment participation decision (Long and Jones 1980).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">A woman is considered employed if she reported working in salaried employment, casual wage earning, business, or family farm for more than 240 hours in the survey year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The identified determinants of employment entry and exit are individual characteristics such as age, marital status, education, number of children; and household characteristics such as asset, income, male education, social status, etc. We use appropriate econometric techniques to consider the possibility that women who are employed may not be comparable with those who are not employed in the initial data. We also address the problem of attrition as some women from the original sample could not be followed up in 2012.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">By considering the temporal changes of employment and its determinants, our analysis also accounts for individual-level differences in unobservable characteristics that are time-invariant.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">We measure local economic development using growth rate in night-time luminosity in the districts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">MNREGA guarantees 100 days of wage-employment in a year to a rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work at the prescribed minimum wage.
