This document analyzes gender inclusiveness in MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act), India's job guarantee scheme. It finds that while women's participation is high, women sometimes face higher rationing (not getting work despite seeking it) than men. The study examines differences between states and finds vulnerable groups like female-headed households generally face lower rationing. It concludes MGNREGA has been reasonably gender inclusive but states vary and vulnerable populations need more support through differentiated policies, sensitizing staff, and awareness campaigns.
