The National Statistical Office had published the “Time Use in India 2019” reporting how men and women across the country spend their time in a day. Our analysis highlights that women’s economic participation in India is extremely low and only 20% of Women in the age of 15 to 59years are engaged in some employment activities as compared to 71% of Men. Moreover, an average Indian woman spend close to one-fifth of her day performing unpaid household activities. The International Monetary Fund states gender parity in economic participation can boost India’s GDP by 27%. We realise there is a huge opportunity to create a women led economic impact through training, private sector partnerships, policy advocacy and behaviour change campaigns.
