The Concept Of Gender Equality And Diversity In India
The meaning of gender equality in law has been descended from Aristotle’s dictum i.e. “treating alike, unlikes alike”, which means equality is pivotal to mandate equality for equals and dissimilar classes need to be similarly treated. In India, gender inequality has not only been an important social issue but also a critical economic challenge. According to a survey conducted by National Family Health Survey (NFHS) in 2016 girls in India have mortality rate as high as 61%. A survey by Catalysts suggests that the organizations with highest percentage of women on senior management on boards are technology, media and telecommunication. Women hold only 7.7 % of board seats and 2.7% of board chairs.
Although with time there have been some improvements in the society, the working women ratio has increased from 14.8% to 27% from 2012 to 2016, but still gender inequality is the most prevalent issue in Indian workplaces. It is far below the world average of 50% according to the World Bank. Not only in India, but organizations across the world witness that Gender ratios are usually imbalanced irrespective of sectors, industries, and job categories. This is regardless of the fact that most nations are developing or developed and they have almost equal numbers of male and female students at the school and university levels. Some of the problems which women feels they face at workplace are as follows:
Women get paid less as compared to the men at the same position.
Women are less likely to advance their careers as far as men are concerned.
