Gender inequality : Development issue

Inequality refers to unequal treatment. On gender inequality index rank is 132 out of 187 countries. In India women’s don’t get that much priority as compared to men in most of the areas women’s face a lot of problems. Mostly in rural areas people celebrate the birth of baby boy but don’t celebrate the birth of baby girls. If we compare the literacy rate between men and women we found that the literacy rate of men’s are more than the females most of the parents think that if they educate their daughters its not beneficial for them because tif they educate their daughters then who will look after the household chores .if we see in rural areas we found that women’s are more engaged in agriculture they do all the field works like irrigation, weeding, winnowing, transplanting etc. and also people think that women are not able to do work after marriage or most of the institutions wants male teachers because they think that men’s are capable of doing a lot of things and they think boys are main source of income for their families. So only here women’s face discrimination in work area also they do same work as men but they don’t get equal money for that. the report of Human Development in 2019 says that in 189 countries India’s rank is 129th in [HDI] mainly the human development focuses on the overall growth which also includes economic growth and in 2019 they mainly focused on gender inequality and the report said that the coming generation will focuses more on technology and the report said the rank of India is less than the china in Gender Gap Index because number of women’s participant in labour force are less there are several reasons behind it may be their husband’s don’t allow it or maybe there is safety issue and so on and if we are talking about opportunities women always get less opportunities as compared to men in rural areas women’s don’t work outside the home or usually they work in their own fields in urban areas the report said that girl don’t get opportunity to study further after they reach puberty and boys don’t have any restriction like that they don’t allow their girl child to study and they cut their daughter’s name from the school most of the pregnant ladies use female foeticide which disturbs the male and female ration overall that is 91 girls for every 100 boys
ECONOMIC GROWTH AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES IF THERE IS NO GENDER INEUALITY.
If there is no inequality so women’s started taking part in every sector so their productivity also increases so they produce better goods so after reading a research paper I found that industries which have more female worker grow faster than the industries which don’t have more female worker.
The participation of labour force and growth is lowest as compared to other countries the first think India have to think that how to increase the participation of women’s in labour force then the economic growth already increases for the development we have to remove the gender inequality. Mostly women get chance to those industries where they don’t face any difficulty where people have to think that they have to do those works which don’t require physical work and most of the industries which give opportunity to female want their owner should also be female so they work easily there are some states in India which have female entrepreneurs that is in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil nadu so in India these states have high income as compared to other states
India come to 112th position from 108th position in 2018 in WEF that is world economic forum now its is improved at some extent but some country which have lower rank than India is improving more faster the report said in India the the political gender gap is less than the economic gender gap
Now most of the countries have good gender parity :

1. Iceland [ 87.7%]
2. Norway [84.2%]
3. Finland [83.2%]
4. Sweden [82.0%]
5. New Zealand [79.9%]
   So most of the issues covered by Indian media on gender inequality one of them was Sabarimala temple located in Kerala. In India today newspaper it tells us that women’s don’t allowed in that temple so that the supreme court take action on it and decided to remove this rule so now every women whatever her age is should allowed to go and pray so this is the new step taken in our country to remove the gender inequality because people think that the women’s who menstruate are impure and they don’t go to the temples because temple are pure and this kind of discrimination they faced from several years, so now it is remove.
   Another case was article 377 which in favour of gender equality so these steps are taken to remove the gender inequality
   Now India is improving but in most of the areas women’s are still don’t get equal rights so we have to focus on that area and educate them so that they understand it and give opportunities to their daughters and treat equal because if the women is literate then she will educate their children and society too and also improvement of any country is impossible without gender equality because there are lots of people who have good skills but they don’t have platform to show it so lack of these things also decreases the growth so for better development and growth it is necessary to remove the gender inequality.
