These words spoken by Hillary Clinton resonate strongly with the Indian demographic. India is on a massive growth spurt. The India growth story has been on everyone's mind. At such a juncture, the nation needs each one of its citizens to contribute to our economy's growth. In a recent interview, the World Bank Director, Auguste Tano Kouame, emphasized the critical role of increasing female labour force participation in India's economic growth. The chief highlighted that this endeavour is a "low-hanging fruit" that could significantly contribute to India achieving its ambitious economic goals.Currently, India's female labour force participation stands at around 25 percent, a figure significantly lower than the global average. To accelerate its economic growth and achieve its target of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2028 and an advanced economy by 2047, India needs to sustain a growth rate of 8%. The World Bank India chief stressed that boosting female labour force participation could be a game-changer in reaching this goal.The objective at Women Entrepreneur magazine is to act as an ally in India's growth story and make more women a part of the journey.
