• India has issues related to basic
health amenities because the
resources and infrastructure are
limited, and within that, the
situation is worse for marginalized

9. Neglect of Female Education
• It is not only related to
enrollment but also to the way
female education is perceived.
Women are not enrolled
equally as men.
• Even when they are enrolled,
there is a very high dropout
rate because even if there is a
certain kind of problem at
home, it is a girl child that has
to stay back.

10. Insufficient economic and
political partnership
• While there is a lot of emphasis
on education these days, it is
still a matter of concern due to
the lower participation of
women in the workforce.
• For example, if one has to quit
the job in a couple, it is
invariably the woman who has
to quit because it is considered
unmanly for a man to stay at
home.

gender gap in economic
opportunity based on current
trends.
