 The total population of Uttarakhand was 84.8 lakh persons in 2001. The sex ratio was 962 which was above the all India level. The density of population defined as number of persons per square kilometer was only 159 persons. The sparse population is mainly due to large area under mountains (Table-1). The literacy rate in Uttarakhand has been above the all India level with 72.08% of population being educated. Among males, 84.01% and females 60.26% were literate during 2001. Women are considered to be the backbone of the economy of Uttarakhand. Therefore, it is essential to provide substantial educational facilities and motivation to women in this region. In Uttarakhand, 36.9 per cent of population was workers. Among males, this proportion was 46.4 per cent while it was 27.1 per cent among females. Surprisingly, work participation rate of population in the state is lower than the all India level. It could be attributed to relatively low work participation of male population which is 46.4 per cent against 51.9 per cent for all India. Historically, male workers have been migrating to plains in search of employment opportunities and this feature has reduced the work participation rate of males in Uttarakhand. On the other hand, work participation rate of females in Uttarakhand is above the national level. It could be due to the significant contribution of women in various economic activities, primarily in agricultural based activities.
