After two great World wars, modernization theory equal with physical infrastructure building and industrialization was developed and practiced in the west, and also practiced later on in the developing countries as well to improve the standard of living. As a result, during the first development decade (1960- 1970).

Gender equality and the empowerment of women are at the heart of UNDP’s development mandate. First and foremost, gender equality is a matter of human rights. It is also a driver of development progress. Unless women and girls are able to fully realize their rights in all spheres of life, human development
will not be advanced.
With this Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017, UNDP is well placed to ensure that gender equality and the empowerment of women are integrated into every aspect of its work to support countries to eradicate poverty and
reduce inequalities and exclusion.

Women in the Economy of Maharashtra
By
Vibhuti Patel
Introduction
Maharashtra ranks the 4th in Human Development Index. Female economic activity rate of 35.97 % for Maharashtra is higher than the national average of 29%. Maharashtra has an outstanding record of establishing Women Development Corporation, way back in 1975. The state has 12 all women panchayats. Women constitute 11.60 % of membership in the cooperatives. In the rural Maharashtra, the work participation rate of women is 46.5 % out of which 89 % in the agrarian sector. Among the total agrarian workforce, 41 % constitutes cultivators and 48% constitutes agricultural labourers. In the Urban Maharashtra, the female work participation rate (Main Workers who get employment for 8 hours per day for 183 days in a year) is only 13 %. Out of total urban female work force 1 % is in the highly skilled jobs, 9.2 % is in the house-hold industry, 45.3 % is self- employed, 33.3 % is in the regular employment and 21.4 % is casual labour.
Women in the Work Force
Women’s studies scholars have argued that increase in work participation of women in rural Maharashtra is a sign of distress, an index of unequal terms and limited options, not prosperity. Feminisation of labour in the contemporary Maharashtra signifies feminisation of poverty. The question, often asked is- Are women working themselves to death to keep the home fire burning? The allocation of funds for women in the state budget is less than 1 % of the total. Gender audit of the state budget reveals that the amount allocated for promotive measures such as economic services is much less. The budgetary allocation is for protective measures, for distressed women.
Occupational Diversification of women is taking place in the economy of Maharashtra. Educated women are getting jobs in the information technology; soft wear industry, call centres and other tertiary sector occupations.
Withdrawal of state from the social sector manifested in decrease in budgetary allocation for PDS and public health has increased invisible work of housewives and poor women.
There is high rate of unemployment among urban women. Decline of textile industry and closure of small-scale industries have affected women workers adversely. The highest percentage of female work force is of women agricultural labourers who don’t own assets, get seasonal/ casual employment and get less paid. Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 is the most flouted law in the state. In agriculture, women get 60-70 % of male wages. In the public works programmes, women get Rs. 26. 85 per day while men get Rs. 49.38 per day.

The case for countries to invest in women’s economic empowerment has never been stronger. A growing body of evidence is demonstrating that economies are more resilient, productive and inclusive when they reduce gender inequalities and actively support women’s equal participation in all spheres of life. Further impetus for action has been provided in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which places the empowerment of women at the centre of many initiatives required to deliver on these commitments. The Policy Dialogue is co-ordinated by the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, the Development Centre, and the Statistics Directorate.

Women's participation in the labour market is dependent on a number of factors. The policies and the budget has to be gender sensitive to create an enabling environment for the women workers.

Gender training works if
there is a strong elements
of awareness-raising
as well as skill-building
Therefore
What is Gender Training?
• A development intervention which aims to
change awareness, knowledge, skills and
behavior in relation to gender
• Contents
- Awareness (e.g. understanding
gender and awareness of stereotype)
- Knowledge (e.g. about various
forms of discrimination against women)
- Skills (e.g. in analyzing projects from a
gender perspective)
- Behaviors (e.g. changes in the way of
working with mixed groups)
13. • The current problems of a Korean society
- Low fertility rate 1.18% (2013) & Aging society 12.7% (2014)
» It will be projected that Korea will reach a aged society (14%) in 2018
• Solutions to the problems
- Low Increasing fertility rate, entering into $ 30,000 by getting
women into labor market, and restoring family values through
‘work and family balance’
- GNI $26,205 (2013)
» It has been for 7 years that the level of GNI is in $20,000
- Family disorganization : high rate of adolescent suicide, high rate of
divorce, increasing single parent household, & increasing elderly
people in poverty, etc.
Why Gender Training?
14. • How the problems be related to “gender”?

labor structure and deep-rooted traditions, to the effective
utilization of women

should take care of the aforementioned problems

both to enhance their gender awareness and to acquire
skills required to make a ‘gender policy’

An extremely important factor in socioeconomic development is building the capacity of women so that they can perform roles as an agent of development rather than a beneficiary. The Republic of Korea(ROK)’s gender policies that are aimed at promoting gender equality and empowering women went through three major paradigm shifts from the 1950s to present according to changes in their key objectives and approach.
Welfare policy
In the 1950s, women welfare policies such as relief programs were implemented.
In the 1960s, a focus was placed on operating women’s occupation and protection center aimed at getting prostitutes and war widows back to society.
In the 1970s, there were still protection programs for women who ran away from home and prostitution. In addition, Samaeul women’s associations were established in farming villages to focus on programs aimed at increasing the income of female farmers and improving their daily life.
During the period of the implementation of a welfare policy, the target population is deprived women who needed social protection, such as widows, prostitutes, women in poverty.

In the 2000s, many changes were made in the gender policy execution structure. The establishment of the Ministry of Gender Equality in 2001 meant the creation of a government agency that would practically handle work aimed at empowering women and promoting gender equality.
- In 2003, the Korean Institute for Gender Equality Promotion and Education (KIGEPE) was founded to provide gender equality and gender-sensitive trainings to public officials, thus striving to address gender-discriminatory mindsets and customs. The ROK has systemized national organizations aimed at improving women’s status. The organizations are the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which executes gender policies, an organization that specializes in researching gender policies, and an organization that provides gender-sensitive training to public officials.
Comparison between GIA and GRB
- Gender responsive budgeting is based on the National Finance Act (enacted in 2006). It is being implemented with overall supervision by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance in connection with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
- Gender responsive budgeting refers to changing the budget distribution structure and regulations so that national finances are used in an efficient and gender equal way by considering the effects that a budget has on women and men in the process of drawing up, deliberating, executing, and settling a budget. Gender responsive budgeting is not a specific category of budgeting but is a process of distributing resources based on gender equality (Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, Korean Women’s Development Institute 2010, 6).
