Right to Education, Human Capital and Women’s Economic Participation in India: A Constitutional and Developmental Perspective

Author(s) Dr. Janhavi S S
Country India
Abstract Education constitutes a fundamental foundation of human development and economic development. In India, the constitutional status of education has undergone a significant transformation, reflecting its importance for human dignity, equality, capability development and meaningful participation in social and economic life. The present paper examines the Right to Education in India from a constitutional and developmental perspective, with particular emphasis on its contribution to human-capital formation and women’s economic participation. It specifically analyses the role of education in developing knowledge, skills and productive capabilities and examines its contribution to productivity enhancement, poverty reduction and economic growth. The paper further evaluates the relationship between women’s educational attainment and their economic participation, particularly in relation to employment, earnings, financial independence and decision-making. Drawing upon constitutional provisions, judicial decisions, statutory developments and relevant secondary evidence, the study argues that the substantive significance of the Right to Education extends beyond access and enrolment to learning, educational attainment, capability development and the conversion of educational opportunities into meaningful economic participation. The paper concludes that education can serve simultaneously as a constitutional right, an investment in human capital and an important foundation for inclusive economic development, while the economic benefits of women’s education depend upon the availability of supportive labour-market and socioeconomic conditions.
Keywords Right to Education; Human Capital; Human-Capital Development; Women’s Economic Participation; Educational Attainment; Female Labour-Force Participation; Productivity; Economic Growth.
