Female work participation in West Bengal is one of the lowest among all the
states in India. However, it varies widely across the stateá¬s 341 blocks. An
analysis of some block level characteristics based on Census 2001 data
show that female work participation varies inversely with the female literacy
rate and percentage of Muslim population, and is positively related to the
overall work opportunity as reflected by male work participation. However,
there are
female
a
few blocks with very high percentage of Muslim population where
are the blocks where
work participation is rather high. These women
are engaged in home-based work in large numbers. Surveys were conducted
of households in two such areas in Murshidabad and South 24 Parganas,
respectively.inWork participation rate by sex is gradually increasing is
1991-2011 West Bengal. The male work participation rate increased
52.62% from 1991 and 53.26% from 2011.

The female work participation

is rapidly increased in 1991 &
2011 the percentage was
8.07% to 18.08. And the
gender gap between male and
female was decreased from
1981 to 2001, and 2011 has
increased 38.99%.
