Women in Labor Force

Women in the labor force refers to the percentage of women who are either employed or actively seeking employment within a country's economy. It reflects women's participation in work, including jobs in various industries, and is an important indicator of gender equality and economic development. Factors influencing this include education, cultural norms, government policies, and access to childcare. A higher labor force participation rate suggests more women are engaging in paid work, contributing to economic growth and household income, while also indicating progress towards gender equality in the workplace.
