Education, Work and Women

"This book attempts to measure the gender disparities that exist today in various fields. It specially focuses on representations of women in education and employment sectors at global, national, village and individual levels. In this volume an attempt has been made to marshall data and information on education and employment of women from different sources. Along with the secondary sources, field studies have also been conducted to generate data on gender differentiation at grassroots level. The purpose is to measure the gender based gaps at various levels to furnish a comprehensive and, at the same time, a precise picture of differentiation."
