The Female Labor Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) has been declining in India, since the past decade. The underlying issue of low female participation lies in social norms and contexts. While traditional policies help, they attack the symptoms and not the primary cause. Behavioral interventions provide a solution to the causes and can incentivize better behavior. This blog highlights the interventions to encourage women to be a part of the labor force and limit the bias of employers while employing female employees.
A market for Mental Health Insurance
Mental health is a subject often not spoken about voluntarily, except by professionals in the field. Mental health insurance is even further from the discussion. There is a shortage of service providers as well as services. Several barriers deter the progression of mental health services in low- to middle-income countries like India, including inadequate funding, concentration of services in urbanized centres, lack of integration with primary care services, and lack of experience and training among mental health professionals.
