The condition of employed women is better in villages than in cities. There are more women in senior and middle-level management positions in villages than in cities. Their ratio of males to males in villages is much better than in cities. This information has come out in a survey study by the National Statistical Office (NSO).
According to the NSO study, the proportion of women at management level positions in rural areas in 2019-20 was 21.5 percent, while in cities it was only 16.5 percent. This shows that women are handling management better in villages than in cities.
NSO’s annual bulletin PLFS 2019-20 states that the proportion of women employed in senior and middle-level management positions estimated from PLFS i.e. Periodic Labor Force Survey 2019-20 in rural areas is 21.5 percent, which is 16.5 percent in urban areas.
