Description


It is not a secret that women, especially in the informal economy,  in both rural and urban India are working all the time. Then what does falling labour force participation mean? To better explain the gaps in data for women working in the informal economy, to give us an idea of what story the numbers are failing to tell, and what we can do together to represent women’s work better, we spoke to Rukmini S, an independent data journalist and the author of Whole Numbers and Half Truths : What Data Can and Cannot Tell us About Modern India.
