&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Washington: &lt;/em&gt;Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report released by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank, and Nathan Associates, gave Sikkim the highest possible 40 points while Delhi received just 8.5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states were ranked according to four primary factors -- legal restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours in factories, retail, and the IT industry; the responsiveness of the state&amp;rsquo;s criminal justice system to crimes affecting working women, such as sexual harassment; the number of women workers in the state as a percentage of total workers; and the number of incentives the state&amp;rsquo;s startup and industrial policies offer women entrepreneurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the tiny northeastern state of Sikkim is the breakthrough state for women in the workplace, thanks to its high rates of female workforce participation, lack of restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and high conviction rates for workforce crimes against women (albeit on a small sample size),&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sikkim is followed by Telangana (28.5 points), Puducherry (25.6), Karnataka (24.7), Himachal Pradesh (24. 2), Andhra Pradesh (24.0), Kerala (22.2), Maharashtra (21. 4), Tamil Nadu (21.1) and Chhattisgarh (21.1).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four states (Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu) have removed all restrictions on women working at night in factories, retail establishments and the IT sector, the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, these restrictions were removed as a result of a court judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has the world&amp;rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many states have laws limiting women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and Indian women face harassment in the workplace and while commuting, it said. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Washington: &lt;/em&gt;Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report released by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank, and Nathan Associates, gave Sikkim the highest possible 40 points while Delhi received just 8.5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states were ranked according to four primary factors -- legal restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours in factories, retail, and the IT industry; the responsiveness of the state&amp;rsquo;s criminal justice system to crimes affecting working women, such as sexual harassment; the number of women workers in the state as a percentage of total workers; and the number of incentives the state&amp;rsquo;s startup and industrial policies offer women entrepreneurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the tiny northeastern state of Sikkim is the breakthrough state for women in the workplace, thanks to its high rates of female workforce participation, lack of restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and high conviction rates for workforce crimes against women (albeit on a small sample size),&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sikkim is followed by Telangana (28.5 points), Puducherry (25.6), Karnataka (24.7), Himachal Pradesh (24. 2), Andhra Pradesh (24.0), Kerala (22.2), Maharashtra (21. 4), Tamil Nadu (21.1) and Chhattisgarh (21.1).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four states (Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu) have removed all restrictions on women working at night in factories, retail establishments and the IT sector, the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, these restrictions were removed as a result of a court judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has the world&amp;rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many states have laws limiting women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and Indian women face harassment in the workplace and while commuting, it said. &lt;br /&gt;

Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has the world&amp;rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many states have laws limiting women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and Indian women face harassment in the workplace and while commuting, it said. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Washington: &lt;/em&gt;Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report released by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank, and Nathan Associates, gave Sikkim the highest possible 40 points while Delhi received just 8.5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states were ranked according to four primary factors -- legal restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours in factories, retail, and the IT industry; the responsiveness of the state&amp;rsquo;s criminal justice system to crimes affecting working women, such as sexual harassment; the number of women workers in the state as a percentage of total workers; and the number of incentives the state&amp;rsquo;s startup and industrial policies offer women entrepreneurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the tiny northeastern state of Sikkim is the breakthrough state for women in the workplace, thanks to its high rates of female workforce participation, lack of restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and high conviction rates for workforce crimes against women (albeit on a small sample size),&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sikkim is followed by Telangana (28.5 points), Puducherry (25.6), Karnataka (24.7), Himachal Pradesh (24. 2), Andhra Pradesh (24.0), Kerala (22.2), Maharashtra (21. 4), Tamil Nadu (21.1) and Chhattisgarh (21.1).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four states (Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu) have removed all restrictions on women working at night in factories, retail establishments and the IT sector, the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, these restrictions were removed as a result of a court judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has the world&amp;rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Washington: &lt;/em&gt;Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report released by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank, and Nathan Associates, gave Sikkim the highest possible 40 points while Delhi received just 8.5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states were ranked according to four primary factors -- legal restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours in factories, retail, and the IT industry; the responsiveness of the state&amp;rsquo;s criminal justice system to crimes affecting working women, such as sexual harassment; the number of women workers in the state as a percentage of total workers; and the number of incentives the state&amp;rsquo;s startup and industrial policies offer women entrepreneurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the tiny northeastern state of Sikkim is the breakthrough state for women in the workplace, thanks to its high rates of female workforce participation, lack of restrictions on women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and high conviction rates for workforce crimes against women (albeit on a small sample size),&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sikkim is followed by Telangana (28.5 points), Puducherry (25.6), Karnataka (24.7), Himachal Pradesh (24. 2), Andhra Pradesh (24.0), Kerala (22.2), Maharashtra (21. 4), Tamil Nadu (21.1) and Chhattisgarh (21.1).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four states (Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu) have removed all restrictions on women working at night in factories, retail establishments and the IT sector, the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, these restrictions were removed as a result of a court judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has the world&amp;rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many states have laws limiting women&amp;rsquo;s working hours, and Indian women face harassment in the workplace and while commuting, it said. &lt;br /&gt;

<em>Washington: </em>Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.<br />
<br />
The report released by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank, and Nathan Associates, gave Sikkim the highest possible 40 points while Delhi received just 8.5.<br />
<br />
The states were ranked according to four primary factors -- legal restrictions on women&rsquo;s working hours in factories, retail, and the IT industry; the responsiveness of the state&rsquo;s criminal justice system to crimes affecting working women, such as sexual harassment; the number of women workers in the state as a percentage of total workers; and the number of incentives the state&rsquo;s startup and industrial policies offer women entrepreneurs.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;But the tiny northeastern state of Sikkim is the breakthrough state for women in the workplace, thanks to its high rates of female workforce participation, lack of restrictions on women&rsquo;s working hours, and high conviction rates for workforce crimes against women (albeit on a small sample size),&rdquo; the report said.<br />
<br />
Sikkim is followed by Telangana (28.5 points), Puducherry (25.6), Karnataka (24.7), Himachal Pradesh (24. 2), Andhra Pradesh (24.0), Kerala (22.2), Maharashtra (21. 4), Tamil Nadu (21.1) and Chhattisgarh (21.1).<br />
<br />
Four states (Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu) have removed all restrictions on women working at night in factories, retail establishments and the IT sector, the report said.<br />
<br />
In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, these restrictions were removed as a result of a court judgment.<br />
<br />
Maharashtra just missed a perfect score; it only allows women to work until 10pm in retail establishments.<br />
<br />
On the other end of the spectrum, nine states and Union Territories do not formally allow women to work at night in any sector.<br />
<br />
Fifteen states and Union Territories did not offer women entrepreneurs any special incentives in their business-promotion policies, it said.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;In something of a surprise, Delhi came last in our Index, due to its relatively low justice and workforce participation scores; its continued formal restrictions on women working at night in a wide range of sectors; and its lack of any incentives for female entrepreneurs in its industrial policies,&rdquo; the report said.<br />
<br />
India has the world&rsquo;s lowest rate (24%) of female workforce participation.<br />
<br />
This is a serious drag on growth. a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that India could add 16% to its GDP in ten years if women participated in the workforce at the same rate as men.<br />
<br />
But many states have laws limiting women&rsquo;s working hours, and Indian women face harassment in the workplace and while commuting, it said. <br />

Sikkim the best place to work for women, Delhi at bottom of list: Report

-PTI Washington: Tiny northeastern state of Sikkim has the best working conditions for women, while national capital Delhi fared the lowest, according to a report.
