Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Sheohar, 27.1% 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.
71% of registered enterprises are in services while 29% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 64% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Sheohar, which ranks 25 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 40.9 out of 100. On women with a bank account at 78.1% and women taking part in all major household decisions at 74.4%, it sits close to the national mark.
Mandated services and how to locate the Working Women's Hostel in Sheohar are in the Sheohar district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Sheohar youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
