Gender Inequality and Human Development in India: Challenges and Opportunities

Author(s) Dr. Siddharth Gangale
Country India
Abstract Human development, refers to the expansion of human freedom and choice to lead a good life. This is not limited to economic expansion, but to education, healthcare, and the ability to make choices, coupled with being able to join and participate fully in society. All of this increase of freedoms is notably limited by gender inequality. Gender inequality refers to systematic disadvantage and gendered differences that individuals experience. It exists as uneven chances, assets, and access to power which are maintained through well-established social conventions and biased activities. Gender inequality is present in most areas of Indian existence and serves to be an obstruction in the endeavour of inclusive human development in India. India is lagging in gender inequality, as evident by its ranking number 108 in the list of 193 countries in the Gender Inequality Index of 2022. This research study, critically and systematically synthesized literature to give an integrated review of all relevant evidence available pertaining to this specific topic. This research paper explores, the inherent dynamics between the socio-cultural drivers and the demonstration of gender inequality and its influence on human development. Paper aims to contribute by analysing interrelation between gender inequality and human development. As we grasp the situational complexities of the issue, we identify effective interventions in achieving gender equality and empowering women in India.
