As cited by the NHRC, what was the participation of women in the labour force in September 2026?
- A.24.6 per cent
- B.34.6 per cent
- C.41.2 per cent
- D.48.5 per cent
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 34.6 per cent. The commission quoted the Periodic Labour Force Participation Survey to show that women's participation in the labour force stood at this level in September 2026, and set it beside the roughly 4.4 lakh cases of crimes against women in the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau. Taken together, the commission said, the two figures underline how much remains to be done on the safety and security of women. Options A, C and D are wrong because none of them appears in the advisory; they are placed here because a candidate who recalls only that the share was in the thirties, or guesses at a figure near half, can be pulled away from the exact value. The sensible way to revise such items is to tie the number to its source and its month, so that the survey, the figure of 34.6 per cent and September 2026 are remembered as one unit.
