ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 1 - Social issues and gender-related indices. The Global Gender Gap Index highlights that gains in education and health parity have not translated into commensurate progress in economic participation and political empowerment, exposing structural gaps in workforce inclusion and representation. Way forward lies in strengthening women's labour force participation and political representation through targeted skilling, workplace policy reform, and greater representation in elected bodies.
