According to a survey released on Thursday, there is a significant attrition rate, particularly among those with less than a year of experience, despite the proportion of women in blue-grey collar jobs increasing to 19% overall in 2023–2024.
Although women’s overall share of blue-grey collar jobs rose from 16% in FY21 to 19% in FY24, according to the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) annual report, the cohort faces high early attrition rates that jeopardise productivity, continuity, and India’s ability to meet its USD 30 trillion economy goal by 2047, according to the ‘State of Women in the Blue-Grey Collar Workforce-2025′ report. Quess Corp and the Udaiti Foundation‘s “State of Women in the Blue-Grey Collar Workforce—2025” report is based on a survey of 1,500 former and over 10,000 present female employees in manufacturing, services, retail, and BFSI.
