Female in workforce

I'm not saying about hamirpurites, but the people who are not belong to this tract of land will amazed in this topic. This topic is dedicated to femalehood who earns for the livelihood of their family.

Working women

The proportion of women in the workforce in Hamirpur is generally higher than the state average.

While, according to Census 2001, female workers constituted  75 % of the total population of district.

This may indicate that cultural norms which discourage women from working in UP are not generally as deeply rooted in Hamirpur. However, higher female work participation could also be seen as sign of higher economic vulnerability. It is also an indicator of lower enrollment of girls in schools, as working girls are also considered 'workers'.



Some Female workers are in private sector factories like Rimjhim Steel Plant and Hans coasting. They are also engaged in small industrial units and businesses.

Here are some areas where you are most likely to see female working:
