According to the Labour Force Survey 2024-2025, national unemployment stands at 7.1 percent, while underemployment is recorded at 1.6 percent. Underemployment is defined as working under 35 hours per week while actively seeking or available for extra work.

Women face additional barriers to paid work due to unpaid care responsibilities, family norms, and commuting safety issues. To improve earnings and bargaining power for rural workers, recommended strategies focus on combining relevant skill training, basic capital support, and direct market access.
