Sustainable development ensures the gender equality through women’s full participation in every sphere of the economy. In case of India, female labour force participation (FLFP) was steadily declining since 1970 which makes difficult to achieve the goal of SDG 8 by 2030. In this regard, the present paper tries to examine and critically evaluate the perspectives of female employment in India under NIC and NCO classification by using latest periodic labour force survey report, government of India since 2017 to 2020. Result suggests that even though the female labour force participation in India is rising over the period from 2017 to 2020, but still the female participation rate is underprivileged as compared to male counterpart. Despite this, the rural-urban difference in participation of labor market is enormous. It means there is a mile to go to achieve sustainable development.
