Gender inequality is an issue that has been debated for many decades. It is a social problem which causes unfair treatment in society between different genders.



Despite the fact that its volume much decreases , it still exists and make a lot of people suffer its consequences everyday. On some aspects , women in India are still struggling due to gender inequality.



Gender inequality in education is a persistent problem in Indian society, especially for girls from rural areas and lower socioeconomic backgrounds . During the past several decades, India has achieve success in moving towards universal school enrollment and in enacting policies to address educational inequalities such as those based on gender. However education gaps still exist.

According to census estimates, women are still at literacy levels 16% below than men ( GOI 2011).

Bryan Robinson , Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte states in ‘Forbes’

that gender discrimination is still alive and well in the workplace in 2021.

One of the causes for gender

inequality within employment is the division of jobs . In most societies, there’s an inherent belief that

men are simply better equipped to handle certain jobs. Men, for example, tend to be seen as more

authorative and women more communal in orientation .

In workplace , this can rapidly lead people to expect and prefer to men in charge and to look to women carry on routine group maintenance efforts.

According to Global Gender Gap Report 2020 , it will take another 100 years to achieve gender equality based on the current rate of progress. This prediction has been widely used as a shock therapy to push governments, NGOs , associations, investors and companies into action.
