Redesigning formal Work: A Path to Economic Inclusion for Women | Good Business Lab

In rural India, women dedicate five to six hours daily to household tasks, which significantly limits their participation in the formal labor force. With only one in four Indian women working for pay outside the household—a fraction that has only declined over the last decade—it's clear that barriers like mobility challenges, social norms, and limited agency persist. 

So how can we make work work for more women? 

Perhaps we need to reimagine the types of jobs and work environments that are available for them. Answering this question is a top priority for the government, the private sector, and civil society, but it is clear that rigorous evidence is still limited.

To bridge this gap, we’ve piloted an initiative that creates flexible, paid work opportunities tailored to women's needs, connecting them with quality jobs through partnerships with grassroots organizations. 

Discover how a simple shift in perspective can unlock significant economic potential for women and drive lasting change!
