Explanation:

According to the latest figures released as part of the unemployment rate report by the CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, May-August, 2021), Rajasthan state ranks 3rd in the country in matter of women unemployment

The state ranks 3rd in the country following Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir in this field with a rate of 65.31 per cent.

What is interesting is that the urban women who are considered to be more educated are more unemployed than the rural women.

The urban women unemployment rate is 92.1 per cent while the unemployment rate of rural women in the state is just 54.8 per cent.

Lack of literacy and higher education facilities is the basic reason behind this overall picture but NERGA is doing good in rural areas for employment of women.
