  "account": "The article examines the fluctuations in female labor force participation across North Eastern states and Union Territories in India. While the overall trend shows an increase in female labor force participation since 2019-20, the pace of this change varies significantly across different regions. This is especially true for the Northeastern states and Union Territories, where the increase in female labor force participation was more pronounced in rural areas compared to urban areas. Among the Northeastern states, Arunachal Pradesh recorded the highest increase in Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) at 8.28 percentage points per year, followed by Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, and several Union Territories. In contrast, Delhi and Lakshadweep experienced a decline in FLFPR. The analysis of Average Annual Percentage Point (AAPP) change in FLFPR for rural areas reveals that major Northeastern states and Union Territories are performing above the national average. However, the study also highlights that the increase in FLFPR is not uniform across all states, with some states starting from a lower baseline but showing faster improvement.",
