Consider the table:

Worker population ratio in India

2017-18

Identify the incorrect statement.

The difference in participation rate between men and women is larger in rural areas.

First option stands to be correct as we can see in the table that the participation rate of men is 52.1% whereas, women have only 16.5%. The difference in participation rate between men and women is larger in urban areas. The difference in urban areas is 38.8% whereas, in rural areas it stands to be 34.2%. The reason for the same is that mostly where men are able to earn high incomes, families discourage female members from taking up jobs. More urban men(53%) are found to be working as compared to rural men(51.7%). Also, more rural women(17.5%) are found to be working as compared to urban women(14.2%).
