According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), around 57% of women were part of the U.S. workforce in 2015. Furthermore, the DOL projects that by 2024, women in the age group of 25 to 34 years would constitute the major share of employed women in the U.S. On the contrary, emerging economies such as India have witnessed a decline in the female workforce from 35% in 1990 to 27% in 2014 (as per the World Bank Statistics). This is mainly attributed to cultural and societal factors and dearth of suitable jobs opportunities close to place of residence.
