Female work force participation is one of the important indicators of female status in the economy. The female work force participation rate is defined as the percentage of female engaged in the total working population of a state or a country. When more women work, the economies grow. An increase in female work force participation or a reduction in the gap between women’s and men’s work force participation results in faster economic growth. So a clear vision is needed to remove the obstacles to the path of female work force participation both from the government and the females themselves. This paper attempts to study the extent of female work force participation in Assam. A comparison has been made to study the discrepancy between male and female work force participation in the state as well as in the nation.
