Abstract
Women constitute almost half of the world's population and their
participation in economic and social development is crucial for sustainable
growth. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in women's
workforce participation globally, however, certain regions like Bihar still
face barriers to achieving gender equality in this aspect. This study aims to
analyze the current employment scenario of women in Bihar and explore how their
contribution impacts the state's economic and social development. The state of
Bihar, located in Eastern India, is known for its rich cultural heritage but
also faces numerous challenges such as poverty, low literacy rates especially
among women, inadequate access to education and healthcare facilities. The
patriarchal society and deeply entrenched gender norms have further restricted
opportunities for women to participate in the workforce. As a result, their
potential remains untapped leading to underutilization of human resources which
hampers overall development. Through this study, we aim to highlight the
critical role played by women workers in various sectors such as agriculture,
industry including handicrafts and services that contribute significantly
towards Bihar's economy.
