Employment of Women, Gender Diversity and Gender Sensitisation in Indian Economy: A Critical Review
https://doi.org/10.26794/2308-944X-2023-11-2-15-26
Abstract
The workforce participation rate has been increasing across all nations contributing to the growth of the economy.
The aim of this research was to analyse the status of women’s employment in India. It also examines the extent to which organisations in India have adapted gender diversity and created a friendly work environment for both male and female employees.
The author employed a method of collecting secondary data with the help of available official statistics and research reviews to analyse the current trend of women’s employment in the Indian economy.
The analysis revealed certain surprising results. It was observed that the participation of women in the workforce was lower in urban areas than in rural areas. The critical review also revealed that there is still a need to promote diversity at the workplace in the Indian economy across the nation.
The key conclusion is that there is an ardent need for gender sensitisation among individuals at an earlier age to bring all genders at par in India. The research also proposes suggestions that can help in promote women’s workforce participation. This analysis can contribute to enhancing the economic growth rate of the country.
