The increased participation of women in the Indian labor force after economic reforms can be attributed to a combination of factors, including improved access to education and skill development opportunities, increased demand for female labor in certain sectors, and government policies promoting gender equality.

The increased participation of women in the labor force has led to increased women's economic independence and decision-making power, reduced the gender pay gap, and improved women's access to social protection and benefits.

Civil society organizations play a crucial role in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in the context of economic reforms by advocating for gender-responsive economic policies and reforms, providing support and services to women and girls who are affected by economic reforms, and raising awareness about the importance of gender equality and women's empowerment.
