Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In North Tripura, 53.9% 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.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 63% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In North Tripura, which ranks 3 of 8 in Tripura for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.2 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women taking part in all major household decisions at 81.7%. On women with a bank account at 75.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
What the Working Women's Hostel is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the Working Women's Hostel reference. For North Tripura specifically, see the North Tripura district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). The North Tripura youth opportunity scorecard carries the full district picture.
