Axis Bank released a report titled 'The Missing Half: Women and India's Growth Challenge', which emphasizes the necessity of increasing women's participation in the workforce for India to achieve developed-nation status. The report states that India needs to sustain approximately 7% economic growth for the next 25 years, requiring overall workforce participation to rise from 47% to nearly 60%, with women's involvement being crucial. It notes that India currently has one of the lowest female labor force participation rates among G20 economies and calls for coordinated action to expand job opportunities, formalize flexible roles, invest in childcare and safer urban mobility, remove regulatory barriers, and strengthen leadership pipelines. The report also indicates a shift in women's aspirations towards career and family.
