Before concentrating on the Indian context, it examines the participation rates of various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Not unexpectedly, the study shows that the rate is significantly lower for females than for males in this region. The rural?urban differentials are more pronounced and the inter-state variations are more sizable among females than males. Even in large cities, the female labour market participation is lower than that in the rural areas despite higher levels of education. However, in terms of inter-spatial (rural/urban/city) variations, the impact of infrastructure, education, health and urbanization on the labour force participation of both genders is quite distinct. On the whole, the study reinforces the stance that women?s participation in productive activities has a doubly positive impact; it not only raises the household income, but also contributes to the wellbeing of the household. These findings are important from a policy perspective, as different infrastructure variables are confirmed to improve both participation and labour productivity. As such, the book offers a valuable resource not only for researchers, but also for NGOs and policymakers. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aCulture?Economic aspects 606 $aApplied sociology 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aGender and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51010 606 $aSocial/Human Development Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X38000 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aCulture?Economic aspects. 615 0$aApplied sociology. 615 14$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aGender and Economics. 615 24$aSocial/Human Development Studies. 676 $a331.1180954 700 $aMitra$b Arup$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0861707 702 $aOkada$b Aya$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299362403321 996 $aLabour Market Participation in India$92501931 997 $aUNINA
