		+	''' Report: At 49%, HP has most women in workforce '''
		+
		+	Chandigarh : Himachal Pradesh logged the highest proportion of women in workforce in the country in 2021-23, with the hill state logging a significant rise in labour force participation rate (LFPR) among women, reports Vinod Kumar. The LFPR refers to the section of the working population that’s employed or seeking jobs.
		+
		+	In contrast to the employment scenarios in the hilly state, share of females in labour force in the neighbouring states of Haryana and Punjab was manyfolds lower than the all-India average.
		+
		+	The latest Ecowrap report of the State Bank of India, in which data of the annual Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) between 2021 and 2023 was compared, showed that females constituted 49% of the labour force participation in the 15-59 age group in Himachal Pradesh, which is significantly higher than the national average of 32%.
		+
		+	Meghalaya has the second-highest ratio at 45%, followed by 44% in Sikkim and Nagaland. In contrast, Haryana has the second-lowest share of women workers, with females comprising 21% of LFPR. Punjab, with a ratio of 26%, ranked as the fourth lowest among the states.
		+
		+	From 2021 to 2023, Himachal saw a 10.9% increase, the second highest in the country, in LFPR among females aged 15 to 29, while Odisha has the highest surge at 11.3%.
		+
		+	Punjab recorded a decent rise of 7.5%, while Haryana has a modest change of only 1.2%, placing it joint third worst in the country, along with Delhi & Andhra Pradesh. Tamil Nadu & Assam are the states where LFPR among females decreased.
