Goldman Sachs – India Womenomics, Jun 2025

India has a unique opportunity to benefit from demographic changes over the next two decades.

The report focuses on women's participation in India's workforce and its impact on long-term economic growth. Key findings include that the female labor force participation rate is significantly lower than that of men and lower than in other developed and developing countries. To leverage demographic advantages, it is necessary to create jobs for women and increase their workforce participation. Women in India bear a disproportionate responsibility for household and caregiving duties, which is one reason for low workforce participation.
