Explanation:
The difference in participation rates is very large in urban areas: for every 100 urban females, only about 14 are engaged in some economic activities. In rural areas, for every 100 rural women about 26 participate in the employment market. It is common to find that where men are able to earn nigh incomes, families discourage female members from taking up jobs. Earnings of urban male workers are generally higher than rural males and so the urban families do not want females to work. Apart from this, many activities for the household in which urban women are engaged are not recognised as productive work while women working on farms in the rural areas are considered a part of the workforce if they are being paid wages in cash or in the form of food grains.
