Abstract: The purpose of this study is to look into the factors that influence Female Labour Force Participation (FLFP) in India. The data spans of the years from 1990 to 2019. The primary source is the World Development Indicator. For data analysis, the unit root test, Granger causality, and the VAR model are used. Causality analysis revealed bidirectional causality between Female Life Expectancy (FLE) and FLFP as well as Consumer Price Index (CPI) and FLFP, unidirectional causality between Gross Value Added (GVA) and FLFP, and no causality between Female Tertiary School Enrolment (FSET) and FLFP. According to the findings of the vector autoregressive model, tertiary education has no direct significant impact on FLFP in India, whereas GVA and the CPI have a negative impact on FLFP. In the beginning, female life expectancy has a negative impact on FLFP, but it later has a positive impact on FLFP. Policymakers are encouraged to make a conscious effort to align with the sustainable development goals.
