| Résumé: | Despite rapid economic growth in the post-reform period and all the flagship programmes of the government, India ranks very low on narrowing the gender gap in education, health, and economic participation. India is among the few countries of the world where female labour force participation is shrinking with less than 15% in any form of paid work. Though there have been several efforts to improve the status of women there is a wide gender gap in education, health, economic participation and social equality. Women's development and empowerment must become the long-term focus of policies to raise the consciousness of families, increase women's selfconfidence, provide education and strengthen legal justice for fostering gender equality. Sustainable development in India can be a reality only when there is gender equality and justice based development that accords top priority to the welfare of women. |
