Women Empowerment in IndiaAbstract
The economic discrimination proved by low women work and participation rate reinforces additional discriminations and continues the inferiority of women. The position of country is very low in HDI and women in this development index occupy far lower positions (HDI Index, 2015). From the working women participation ratio amongst organized and unorganized sectors, India, ranked 120th among 131 nations (World Bank report (2017). The average rate of WFP in developed countries is more than 50-55% whereas it accounts for developing countries like India only ¼. Although, India has emerged as one of the fastest growing countries of the world but still country has not attained equality amongst the economic status of working women with their male counterparts.
