Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Gender inequality is one of the worst disparities prevalent in our society affecting the largest number of people in comparison to others and thus it questions the existence of half of our population. It has its root in the patriarchal form of society which gives more emphasis to males where they try to dominate, oppress and exploit women. This study is on gender inequality in Empowered Action Group (EAG) states (Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand) with the help of eight indicators to analyse the spatial analysis of gender inequality there. From the study it was found that Uttar Pradesh performed worst in term of gender equality while Chhattisgarh performed well. There are various factors that lead to this inequality in EAG states like inequality in demographic factors; education and employment factors and political participation and decision making factors as gender inequality is not because of any single factor, it is a result of mutli-faceted factors.
