Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Baksa, 35.6% of working-age women are in the labour force, behind the typical district. A Working Women's Hostel helps women take up jobs away from home by giving them safe, affordable housing so distance is not a barrier.
65% of registered enterprises are in services while 35% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 40% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
