The study was conducted with a sample of 301 married women by using stratified two stage cluster sampling method. Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network Model was used for analysis purpose. The study showed that literacy status, area of residence, family system, family size, husband’s education were most important determinants in predicting female labor force participation
