IndiaA National Statistics Office survey reveals that 69% of women in India's largest 46 cities are not participating in the labor force due to childcare and household responsibilities, highlighting significant gender disparities in unpaid care work. The data shows that while 1% of women cited 'social reasons' for not working, this category was not elaborated upon. In contrast, only 1% of men gave childcare and household work as the reason for not being employed. The study also notes that women in these large cities have a higher proportion of salaried employment compared to other urban areas but still face a substantial wage gap, earning 23% less than men on average. Cities like Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, and Nagpur show particularly stark disparities, with women earning nearly half of what men earn. However, Prayagraj is an exception where women reportedly earn more than men.
