Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Mon, 68.3% of working-age women are in the labour force, better than 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 33% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Mon, which ranks 15 of 17 in Nagaland for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.5 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on women taking part in all major household decisions at 96%, while it lags on women with a bank account at 55.5%.
