Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Khunti, 45.8% of working-age women are in the labour force, close to 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.
84% of registered enterprises are in services while 16% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 49% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Khunti, which ranks 11 of 24 in Jharkhand for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.5 out of 100. On women with a bank account at 80% and women taking part in all major household decisions at 68.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
