Economic Inequality in India: The Impact of Gender Disparities in Income and Opportunity

Author(s) Hanska Paduri
Country India
Abstract This paper examines the economic inequality in India through a lens of gender disparities in income and opportunity. While India has greatly improved its economic growth during the last few decades, gender-based inequalities have created a significant impact on how wealth is distributed and the access to opportunities. It investigates the structural barriers facing women in the labor market, including wage gaps, occupational segregation, and limited access to higher-paying sectors. It also reviews the role of social, cultural, and educational factors that have created and sustained such disparities that ultimately result in an important economic disadvantage for women. It takes a multidimensional approach that considers both quantitative data-including income levels, employment participation, and educational attainment-and qualitative factors, including societal attitudes and institutional biases-to explain this complex nature of gendered economic inequality. The research continues to discuss the broader implications of such disparities toward national economic growth, social mobility, and poverty reduction. Some policy recommendations looked into targeted intervention in education, labor market reforms, and social welfare programs to promote greater gender equity and economic justice. The findings point out that gender gaps in income and opportunities are not only issues of social equity but also essential for making India's economic development sustainable and inclusive.
