The chapter looks into the unequal development parity which is excluding the equal participation of women in the labour market. Technical, vocational, education, and training are considered means to encourage women's participation. However, India continues to witness a declining labor force participation rate. In this context, this chapter throws light on the role TVET in empowering females. There is a wide gender gap in education and labour market. There are overwhelming distinctions in education between the sexes in some developing countries. In the economics of education literature, an important explanation of gender inequality in education is that the labour market rewards women's education less well than men's, especially in developing countries. Unequal access to education and training perpetuates gender inequalities in the labour market, restricting the choices and bargaining power of women in particular. © 2023, IGI Global.
