The COVID lockdowns, and the resulting recession, has impacted the female labour force harder than the male labour force in India.This is on top of an already abysmal 25% participation rate of the female labour force in India (pre-COVID). To address this twin problem, Kïdo Education, a global education company with preschools in five countries (including the premium Safari Kid chain in India) has launched Kïdo Village – a platform where any woman in India (whether a teacher or not) can set up a micro-preschool or day-care (a Kïdo Village Pod) at their home for kids in their community.
