    [abstract] => <p>The ongoing radical transformation in India has much to do with education rather than growth; with women rather than men. However, the work force participation of females in India lags considerably behind the &ldquo;norm&rdquo;. There exists large difference between the participation rates of females in the rural &amp; urban areas, worst is the case of the latter. In rural areas, the participation rate has hovered around 40-45% and in urban areas it is found to be lower than that. The international norm for female participation in labour force being around 60%, it clearly indicates that even rural India is quite a distance away from &ldquo;fitting&rdquo; the worldwide pattern. The situation prevalent hence would not be very dissimilar from that prevailing in most Islamic countries. India is unlikely to realise its &ldquo;demographic dividend&rdquo; to the fullest extent unless significant steps are taken to improve the workforce participation of females.</p>
