Gender disparities among districts of Punjab

Abstract

Inequality between men and women is one of the most crucial disparities in many societies, and this is particularly so in India. On one level, gender disparity can be narrowly defined as the purely descriptive observation of different outcomes between males and females. The variables chosen for examination include those, which have a bearing on gender and equity issues. We found that in Punjab, there is decrease in gender disparities during last decade but the rate of this is very slow.
