India has low Female Labor Participation Rate (FLPR), but I don't think it should be compared to Islamic African nations.
Most African nations employ about 70% of their workforce in agriculture. And in rural communities with high agricultural dominance, women have higher labor participation.
2. North India has high agricultural workforce but has worse FLFPR.
I asked ChatGPT to make a list of Islamic countries with lower agricultural labour force participation than India and higher female labour force participation and it created this. (There might be a few hallucinations, but the list looks mostly right; a few spot checks I made don't reveal any errors):
Albania (Ag: 40.3%; Female LFPR: ~44.3%)
Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ag: 19.1%; Female LFPR: ~40.6%)
