	Abstract 			= {India’s female labour force participation rate (LFPR) has fallen steeply in the past thirteen years. This is the ratio of females who are doing paid work as a proportion of the total women of working age.  The decline is actually a longer term phenomenon. As per a report from the International Labour Organization, the LFPR for females aged 15 to 24 was 35.8 percent in 1994, and it fell sharply to 20.2 percent in 2012.}
