  • Gender Gaps and Women's Empowerment in India –Issues And
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 3, Issue 9, September 2013 1 ISSN 2250-3153 Gender gaps and Women’s Empowerment in India – Issues and Strategies Amtul Waris* and ** B. C. Viraktamath *Principal Scientist, Agricultural Extension, **Project Director, Directorate of Rice Research Directorate of Rice Research, Hyderabad Abstract- Gender equality is considered a critical element in achieving social and institutional change that leads to sustainable development with equity and growth. Inequalities between men and women manifest themselves in all areas of development. Inequalities are most obvious in: health and education, economic development, violence against women, participation in public life and policymaking and social attitudes and gender stereotyping. Health discrimination against women in India starts early and is evident in the skewed sex ratio of 933 women to 1,000 men (world average: 990:1,000). Maternal mortality in India is the second highest in the world and close to 125,000 women die due to pregnancy and pregnancy-related illnesses every year. In rural areas, 60% of girls are married before the age of 18, and 60% of married girls bear children before they are 19. Almost one-third of babies are born with low birth weight because of poverty, early marriage, malnutrition and lack of healthcare during pregnancy. In the education sector, the inequalities observed are: Around 245 million Indian women cannot read or write and they form the world’s largest number of unlettered women. Female literacy is 54.16, and there are wide disparities within states. Enrolment and retention of girls in education is poor and the average years of schooling for girls is only 1.2 years as against 3.5 years for boys.

  • Gender Pay Gap: a Myth Or Math
    GENDER PAY GAP: A MYTH OR MATH Dr. Hitesh N. Jagani Dr. Nasheman Bandookwala Abstract Gender discrimination has been persistent across globe and it is more identified in terms of wage differential. Such discrimination is more striking in developing countries and further more among social groups. Though many countries have passed minimum wage laws and laws mandating equal treatment of women at workplace, gender wage differential remains a perennial feature of labor markets across globe. Among BRIC nation India depicts highest wage discrimination between sexes (Rema Nagarajan TNN March 2011). This fact was reveled also in the Global Gender Gap Report of 2010 as well. The recent survey by the World Economic Forum (WEF) points out the Indian situation, ranking India among the bottom 10 countries in the world in terms of women’s participation in the economy. The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020 says Of the 153 countries studied in the report, India ranks 112th on the overall Global Gender Gap Index with the index value of (0.068). The overall gender gap as though has narrowed the pay gaps have widen and it will take 257 more years i.e by year 2257 pay equity will be established. India has shown disappointing performance in women work participation rate (WPR), pushing the country among the bottom 10 countries on the WEF list. The country ranks 149th among 153 countries in economic participation. Overall, in terms of gender equality India achieves a score of 59.4%, but in terms of economic participation and opportunity, it scores 39.8% which is dismal.

  • Indian Labour Market and Position of Women:Gender
    INDIAN LABOUR MARKET AND POSITION OF WOMEN: GENDER PAY GAP IN THE INDIAN FORMAL SECTOR BIJU VARKKEY, RUPA KORDE AND DEVANSH PARIKH Author 1: Human Resource Area, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India Authors 2 & 3: Economics & Strategy, FLAME University, Pune, India [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the “5th Conference of the Regulating for Decent Work Network” At the International Labour Office Geneva, Switzerland 3-5 July 2017 Abstract Gender diversity and its consequences in relation to work and economy are much discussed topics in India today. Women constitute almost half the population of India (48%) (Census India, 2011) and thus half of its potential labour force. But the LFPR of women in India has been constantly declining and stands at merely 28.6% for 2014 (The World Bank, 2016). This implies that half of the potential talent base in India is under-utilized (Zahidi & Ibarra, 2010). Though the Indian Government has taken various measures to prevent discrimination against women workers, there still exists a wide gender pay gap in India and in fact no country has been able to close the gender pay gap completely (Tijdens and Klaveren, 2012). The issue of wage inequality is also central to United Nations’ SDGs, “decent work for all women and men, and lower inequality, as among the key objectives of a new universal policy”, which highlight the importance of measuring and devising a mechanism to reduce the pay gap (ILO, 2016). This paper quantifies the magnitude of gender-based disparities that women face in the organized sector of the Indian Labour Market, offers possible explanations for the same and tracks changes over time.

  • An Analysis of Gender Inequality in India Revathy
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 7 July 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 An Analysis Of Gender Inequality In India Revathy. C. R Student, Post-graduation with NET, Thrissur, Kerala Abstract India is the fastest growing large economy and is the fifth largest economy in the world. However, India’s economic growth is still restricted by rampant gender inequality. Gender inequality refers to disparity between men and women in the use of available resources, opportunities and power in social institutions. India is also the one of the youngest economies in the world. While most of the countries are ageing, India is still young. This opens the window of opportunity for India become a key leader in the global economy. But this is possible only through enhancing women’s opportunities and their contributions to the Indian economy. Thus, gender inequality is not only a social problem affecting individuals but also an economic problem affecting the entire economy. It is to be noted that gender inequality consumes a significant share of India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) potential. This study aims to examine the impact of gender inequality in education, health, employment and political participation. The trends of gender inequality in these areas are analysed and suggestive measures are also put forward in this research. Key words: Gender inequality, gross domestic product (GDP), education, health, employment, political participation. INTRODUCTION In India, Gender inequality is prevailing in various areas including employment, health, education and political participation. India’s rank slipped down from 108 in 2018 to 112 in 2019-20 in Global Gender Gap Index, published by World Economic Forum (WEF).

Therefore, women are no longer confined to the four walls of home. The sheer economic need and the gradual spread of education were responsible for the change. Reddy opined that ―although women constitute 50 per cent of India‘s population, perform two-thirds of the work and produce 50 per cent of the food commodities consumed by the country, they earn only- one third of the remuneration and 10 per cent of the property or wealth of the country‖ 1 Gender pay gap in India refers to the difference in earnings between women and men in the paid employment and labor market2.

Gender wage gap is (GPG) in India using NSSO data for the year 2011-12. Our not only a developing country phenomenon, rather it is results show that Gender Pay Gap in India is higher in rural universal.
