    [abstract] => <p>The self-help groups (SHGs) in India were formed among rural poor women for facilitating microfinance services, especially microcredit to engage them in economic activities for generation of income and employment. This paper investigates the factors influencing employment status of a selected group of SHGs members in Bodoland area of Assam in India. The same set of SHG members has been surveyed twice, once during 2013 and again during 2016 to collect information related to proximate determinants of continuity of employment status of women members. The findings suggested that about 55% of women members who were employed in 2013 have turned into housewife without any employment and the factors such as increased monthly income, occupation like livestock rearing with agriculture farming and availability of agricultural land possessed by the households are the significant variables influencing the continuity of employment women member in the study area.</p>
