Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In South Tripura, 50.8% 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.
67% of registered enterprises are in services while 33% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 66% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In South Tripura, which ranks 6 of 8 in Tripura for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 43.5 out of 100. On women with a bank account at 75.2% and women taking part in all major household decisions at 76.3%, it sits close to the national mark.
