This research paper aims to analyze the regional patterns of literacy and work participation of the urban female population and find out the correlation between female literacy (dependent variable) and work participation rates (independent variables) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The entire research work is based on the secondary sources of data collected from the Census of India (2011) publications, New Delhi and the statistical handbook of Uttar Pradesh. The boundary of the district has been taken as a small unit of the study. The regional distribution of urban female literacy rates shows a steady increase from the eastern to the western parts and from the southern to the northern parts of the state. A high level of urban female work participation is concentrated in the southern and eastern parts of the state, except for a few districts in the western parts of Uttar Pradesh. The coefficients of correlation indicate a positive relationship between workparticipation, including main work participation and marginal work participation in the study area.
