Abstract :
Women empowerment has gained a lot of importance in the recent years. One of the most important contributions to empowering women is education. In this article we discuss the impact of female literacy on female work force participation rate for all the 26 districts of Gujarat. Though education is assumed to be an important contributing factor forincrease in the work force participation rate, from our econometric analysis we found out an inverse relation between the two indicators i.e. the higher the female literacy rate, the lower was the female WFPR in Gujarat. This can be due various reasons such as gender discrimination, poverty, household responsibility, and socialand religious norms restricting women to work away from home.
