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.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000891088 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000891088 650_0 $$aLabor market$$zIndia. 000891088 650_0 $$aLabor policy$$zIndia. 000891088 650_0 $$aRegional economics. 000891088 650_0 $$aWomen employees. 000891088 7001_ $$aOkada, Aya,$$d1966-$$eauthor. 000891088 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMitra, Arup.$$tLabour Market Participation in India : A Region- and Gender-Specific Study.$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore, ©2017$$z9789811071423 000891088 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in economics. 000891088 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000891088 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-7143-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000891088 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:891088$$pGLOBAL_SET 000891088 980__ $$aEBOOK 000891088 980__ $$aBIB 000891088 982__ $$aEbook 000891088 983__ $$aOnline 000891088 994__ $$a92$$bISE
