The International labor Organisation gave a report that 70% of women across the world would prefer to work in a paid job. Close on their heels, 66% of men also want women in their families to get paid jobs. 

A larger number of Indian men – 65% – want women in their families to work paid jobs, and just 52% of Indian women want such jobs for themselves, the gender gap seems to be wider and reversed. 

The report establishes that in general, global attitudes towards women working are positive. For instance, globally, the number of women and men who prefer women to be working in paid jobs is more than twice the number of people who prefer women to stay at home: 27% of women and 29% of men prefer women to stay at home. Of the 70% women who would prefer a paid job, the majority are women who are not currently in the workforce but would like to be.

Globally, 29% of the women surveyed said they would like to work in a paid job, while 41% said they would prefer to both works outside and care for their families at the same time. 
39% want women in their family to work in a paid job, 26% want them to manage jobs along with family care and 30% prefer women to stay at home.

The global average of female labor force participation is 50%. Meanwhile, previous ILO research found that in India, female participation in the labor force declined from over 35% in 2004 to just 25% in 2011.
