Before
Female labour force participation rates (FLFP) in India remain substantially lower than global averages and those of similarly positioned countries. This study examines the role of social norms—a key supply-side factor—in declining female labour force participation in Haryana, India. We investigate how these social norms are gendered and how they vary based on women's personal characteristics, specifically marital and parental status, as well as job location. The study further analyzes how making social norms salient influences the probability of job applications.

After
Female labour force participation rates (FLFP) in India remain substantially lower than global averages and those of similarly positioned countries. This study examines the role of social norms—a key supply-side factor—in declining female labour force participation in Uttar Pradesh, India. We investigate how these social norms are gendered and how they vary based on women's personal characteristics, specifically marital and parental status, as well as job location. The study further analyzes how making social norms salient influences the probability of job applications.
