Detailed Explanation:

The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) through its Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) reported that Female Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) for ages 15 years and above increased from 23.3% in 2017-18 to 37.0% in 2022-23.

This represents a significant increase of 13.7 percentage points, driven primarily by rural areas where female LFPR rose from 24.6% to 41.5%, while urban areas saw a modest increase from 20.4% to 25.4%.
