Indian economy has seen several phases of progression during the seven decades post independence. With rising globalization, urbanization and a transition in Indian societies, there has been a significant change in women's employment patterns. The current study highlights the participation of women in factories in various regions across India. A timeframe from 2005 to 2022 has been taken into consideration to observe the trends in such demographic change with respect to factory workers. A region-wise comparison is made to understand the trend of women employed in factories. The Government of India has laid various provisions for women in employment with respect of wage-equality, hygiene facilities, maternity benefits, working conditions and so on. The trend of women workforce participation is broadly seen to be positive across regions while there is still scope to eliminate barriers for women employment specific to factories in India.
