Question

demographic profile of women in india

Answer 1

Women are regarded as the weaker section. They are regarded as weaker compared to men in social terms. But not all women are of the same status. In each society, there are rich and poor women, educated and uneducated women, rural and urban women, employed and unemployed women, women in higher positions and women in lower positions.

The gender inequality that exists in most societies has attracted worldwide attention. The status of women, as compared to men generally being lower in patriarchal systems (which are in a majority) led the world community to pledge itself to correct this social evil and fight against discrimination based on sex.
