Advancing
Women\u2019s Economic Empowerment
with the Platform Economy<\/b><\/h1>

India’s gig economy presents immense opportunities, with 15 million freelance professionals and a 24% share of the global online labor market. However, gendered divisions persist, limiting women to low-paying, unskilled sectors. To address this, the Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (GAME), in collaboration with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has launched a pathbreaking project Women Economic Empowerment (WEE).

Access and Inclusion in Digital Platform Economy: Empowering Women in the Workforce<\/b><\/h3>

Discover how the digital platform economy can revolutionize women’s labor force participation ratio (LFPR) and bridge the gender gap. With India’s LFPR for women steadily declining, this project aims to unlock the potential of the gig economy by providing a playbook that empowers women to participate in the digital platform economy. By offering flexibility and reducing dependency on physical spaces, this initiative strives to increase women’s workforce participation and foster inclusive economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

From Informality to Formal Work Recognition: Empowering Women through Platformization<\/h3>

Unleash the power of platform work to transform the informal employment landscape for women.

Recognizing the indispensable role of the private sector, GAME is paving the way for gender-inclusive policy shaping.
