Most of the studies in India on labor force participation of women considered the country as a whole ignoring the vast diversity within India.This study narrows its scopeon one state,viz. Maharashtra. Within Maharashtra, there are disparities among different regions.The study uses data from the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) 68th Round for analysis.The paper offers two competing Probit models; first takes into account the impact of 7 variables – sub round, sector, gender, region, relation to the household head, religion and education.The second model includes marital status and the social group consisting of 54 micro segments, based on all possible combinations using the values of four variables – sector, marital status, social group and education.

The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected every household in India. The worst plight has been of 139 million migrant workers, whose daily livelihoods have come under threat. It is essential to understand the basic reasons for migration of the labor force. This paper studies ten different factors, which influence the propensity of this phenomenon. It finds that demographic factors like gender and urbanization have a higher impact than socioeconomic factors like poverty (BPL), involvement in farming and permanence of job contract. Thus, this research will aid policy makers in designing efficient social welfare schemes and decentralization of economic opportunities.References
