  • Literacy in India: the Gender and Age Dimension
    OCTOBER 2019 ISSUE NO. 322 Literacy in India: The Gender and Age Dimension TANUSHREE CHANDRA ABSTRACT This brief examines the literacy landscape in India between 1987 and 2017, focusing on the gender gap in four age cohorts: children, youth, working-age adults, and the elderly. It finds that the gender gap in literacy has shrunk substantially for children and youth, but the gap for older adults and the elderly has seen little improvement. A state-level analysis of the gap reveals the same trend for most Indian states. The brief offers recommendations such as launching adult literacy programmes linked with skill development and vocational training, offering incentives such as employment and micro-credit, and leveraging technology such as mobile-learning to bolster adult education, especially for females. It underlines the importance of community participation for the success of these initiatives.

  • Educational Inequality in India: an Analysis of Gender Differences in Reading and Mathematics
    Working Paper No. 2016-2 Educational Inequality in India: An Analysis of Gender Differences in Reading and Mathematics Gregory White University of Maryland, College Park [email protected] Matt Ruther University of Louisville Joan Kahn University of Maryland College Park 201 India Human Development Survey fieldwork,5 data entry and analyses have been funded through a variety of sources including the US National Institutes of Health (grant numbers R01HD041455 and R01HD061048), UK Department of International Development, the Ford Foundation, and the World Bank. 1 | P a g e ABSTRACT This paper analyzes gender differences in reading and mathematics among Indian children ages 8-11 using data from the 2005 India Human Development Survey. Employing descriptive statistics and ordered logistic regression techniques, this study examines how social background, access to learning resources, time devoted to formal learning activities, and cultural attitudes are associated with gender inequality in educational outcomes. It is hypothesized that gender inequality may result from historical attitudes regarding the education of girls as well as certain parents choosing to prioritize sons’ education over daughters’ education. This may be due to a hidden opportunity cost of engaging girls in activities (e.g. childcare) that have economic value for the family, particularly for girls in rural areas and from the lowest income families. The results provide some evidence to support these theories. Relative to boys, the presence of younger siblings reduces the likelihood of girls advancing in both reading and mathematics. In addition, higher levels of household assets increase the likelihood of girls advancing in reading. Unfortunately, mixed findings related to rural/urban status provide less insight than desired regarding this factor.

  • Macroeconometric Policy Modeling for India: a Review of Some Analytical Issues (February 2000)
    CDE February, 2000 Centre for Development Economics Macroeco11.ometric Policy Modeling for l1ulia: A Review ofSome Analytical Issues V. Pandit" Working Paper No. 74 Acknow ledgments This is the revised version of a paper presented to the National Seminar on Mac roeconomet ric Modeling for Planning in India at the Development Planning Centre, Institute of Economic Growth in November 1998. I am indebted to Professor K. Krishnamurty for several useful discussions I have had with him. Comments and suggestions by Professor B.B. Bhattacharya, Professor Pravin Visaria and other participants of the seminar have also improved the final version of the paper. 'E-Mail: [email protected] ; Fax: 91-011-7257159 1 1. INTRODUCTION Macroeconomic modelling is generally motivated by two objectives: forecasting and more significantly, policy analysis. In pursuit of both these objectives, every model must ideally satisfy four criteria. First and foremost, it must fit into a theoretical framework. Second, the actual specification of the model must reflect a clear understanding of the contextual framework within which policies are formulated and executed along with an envisaged process of adjustment. Third, it is essential that the model is built on a firm and rich data base and, finally, the estimated structural model must adequately utilise the rigors and sophistications of econometric methodology. Unfortunately this is a tall order which can seldom be met. Typically refinements in one direction can often be achieved only at the cost of those in some other direction. For instance, it may be possible to devise small models that are theoretically neat and manageable enough to be subjected to econometric refinements these would seldom be able to deal with actual policy issues in a meaningful way.

  • Mass Media & Legal Literacy: a Case Study of Nirbahya And
    EPRA International Journal of Socio-Economic and Environmental Outlook SJIF Impact Factor (2015) : 4.312 Vol. 3 February - January 2016-17 EPRA Journals MASS MEDIA & LEGAL LITERACY: A CASE STUDY OF NIRBAHYA AND LAXMI ACID ATTACK CASE Heeba Din1 & Sahar Gul2 1PhD Research Scholar, Media Education Research Centre, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J&K, India. 2LLM Scholar, Department of Law, Kashmir University, Srinagar, J&K, India. ABSTRACT ccording to scholars legal literacy is a process of self and social empowerment that moves women not only to A activate the rights they do have, but to redefine and reshape the inadequate ones as expressed in law and in practice. Sadly however the dismal situation of legal literacy in India is worrying. More than 35% of the population is illiterate and more percentage of those who live below poverty line, in poor socio-economic conditions. Even those who are literate are helpless and confused when there is a violation or infringement of a right enforceable in law. In the light of these events, it becomes crucial to promote legal literacy awareness among the citizens, especially women, so that they can safeguard and are fully aware about their legal rights. Mass media can play a crucial role in achieving this goal. Being the fourth estate, the mass media through its rigorous coverage and wide dissemination can reach to the farthest reaches and can help to promote and spread legal literacy among the weaker sections of society. The paper will take the case study of Nirbhaya and laxmi acid attack case which are the prime example of how through the coverage of mass media regarding the event, women became more legally aware about their rights.

  • Socio-Geographical Phenomena of Women's Literacy in India
    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY DR. PRAKASH VIR SINGH (2279-2285) SOCIO-GEOGRAPHICAL PHENOMENA OF WOMEN’S LITERACY IN INDIA Prakash Vir Singh, Ph. D. (Asst. Professor), Deptt. of Geography, Tilak P.G. College, Auraiya Abstract The Indian government has expressed a strong commitment towards education for all; however, India still has one of the lowest female literacy rates in Asia. In 1991, less than 40 percent of the 330 million women aged 7 and over were literate, which means today there are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low level of literacy not only has a negative impact on women’s lives but also on their families’ lives and on their country’s economic development. Numerous studies show that illiterate women have high levels of fertility and mortality, poor nutritional status, low earning potential, and little autonomy within the household. A woman’s lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well being of her children. For instance, a recent survey in India found that infant mortality was inversely related to mother’s educational level. Additionally, the lack of an educated population can be an impediment to the country’s economic development. The present research paper is focusing towards the same. Key words : Constitution, Female Literacy, NFE, Democracy, NPE, NCFW, Autonomy, Women’s Empowerment Introduction: The Indian government’s commitment to education is stated in its constitution with an article promising “free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14” (The World Bank, 1997 b). The National Policy on Education, which was updated in 1992, and the 1992 Program of Action both reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving literacy levels, by providing special attention to girls and children from scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.

As a result, Kerala now has some of the Third World's highest levels of health, education, and social justice. Originally published in 1989, this book traces the role that movements of social justice played in Kerala's successful struggle to redistribute wealth and power. A 21-page introduction updates the earlier edition. This book underlines the following positive lessons that the Kerala experience offers to developing countries: Radical reforms deliver benefits to the poor even when per capita incomes remain low. Popular movements and militant progressive organizations with dedicated leaders are necessary to initiate and sustain reform. Despite their other benefits, radical reforms cannot necessarily create employment or raise per capita income.
