Female participation in the workforce is an important indicator to access the progress of a society
as the wheel of development should be drawn equally both by men and women. But unfortunately in
the rural parts of India, women are only confined in agricultural and allied activities and a major
section of them is still unemployed or they have been kept away from economic activities as nonworkers.
So, it is very essential to identify the backward areas in terms of female work participation
to properly implement strategies for regional development. This paper attempts to analyse the
spatial pattern of female participation in various economic and employment generating activities in
rural areas of North Bengal.
