Govt to create district-level strategies for greater participation of women in the workforce
AIMING to improve women's overall participation in the labour force, particularly in high-quality non-farm jobs in Tamil Nadu, the state government has proposed to create district-level and state-level plans under a ₹1,282-crore project funded by the World Bank.
The District-level Women Quality Employment Plans (D-WQEP) and state-level WQEP (S-WQEP), to be rolled out as part of the Tamil Nadu Women Employment and Safety (TNWeSafe) project, will help women land jobs in emerging sectors. The plans will be rolled out in a phased manner in 20 districts within 2029.
The state government recently floated tenders to hire a consultancy firm to prepare a framework for WQEP, apart from preparing reports on ground realities, existing gender gap in employment, and developing a monitoring system and framework.
