Selected Indicators on status of Women in India

5. In India, women make up 42% of new graduates,
but only 24% of entry-level professionals. Of these,
about 19% reach senior-level management roles.
Women hold only 7.7% of board seats and just 2.7% of board
chairs. Women leaders are missing across sectors. To gain
momentum and drive change, women need to “lean-in” and
they are doing so at least more than before. But the work-life
environment for women has not changed sufficiently for them
to overcome the hurdles to join, stay and rise to leadership
roles.

8. To remedy the low participation of women electors, India in 1994 established
quotas (reservations) via the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments to
reserve 33 per cent of the seats in local governments for women. The
Women’s Reservation Bill (108th amendment) has also been introduced in
the national Parliament to reserve 33 per cent of the Lok Sabha seats for
women, but the bill is yet to be passed.
The participation of women in the Lok Sabha has, in fact, never exceeded 12
per cent since Independence. The proportion of women Members of
Parliament (MPs) in the Lok Sabha has increased by only 6 percentage points
over the past six decades.
