I. Read the following passage and answer the questions
given below 3X1=3
Discrimination against women and girls is a pervasive and long-running
phenomenon that characterises Indian society at every level. India’s progress
towards gender equality, measured by its position on rankings such as the
Gender Development Index has been disappointing, despite fairly rapid rates of
economic growth.
In the past decade, while Indian GDP has grown by around 6%, there has
been a large decline in female labour force participation from 34% to 27%. The
male-female wage gap has been stagnant at 50% (a recent survey finds a 27%
gender pay gap in white-collar jobs).
Crimes against women show an upward trend, in particular brutal crimes
such as rapes, dowry deaths, and honour killings. These trends are disturbing
as a natural prediction would be that with growth comes education and
prosperity, and a possible decline in adherence to traditional institutions and
socially prescribed gender roles that hold women back.
Cultural institutions in India, particularly those of patrilineality and
patrilocality, play a central role in perpetuating gender inequality and ideas
about gender-appropriate behaviour. A culturally ingrained parental preference
for sons - emanating from their importance as caregivers for parents in old age
- is linked to poorer consequences for daughters.
