Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Bhojpur, 27.5% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 51% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Bhojpur, which ranks 7 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women taking part in all major household decisions at 60.7%. On women with a bank account at 74.2%, it sits close to the national mark.
