Gandhidham is the main trading centre of Kachchh and is one of the important contributor of the economic development of Kachchh. Therefore, Gandhidham has been selected as a research area in this study. This study seeks to quantify gender inequality in Labour force and Workforce participation of Gandhidham City.
