Gender discrimination is the reason for 98 per cent of employment gap between males and females in India, according to a new report of Oxfam India.
The report highlighted that woman in India despite their same educational qualification and work experience as men will be discriminated in the labour market due to societal and employers' prejudices.
The Oxfam India's 'India Discrimination Report 2022' shows that discrimination causes 100 per cent of employment inequality faced by women in rural areas in labour market and 98 per cent in urban areas.
The report said self-employed males earn 2.5 times more than females, 83 per cent of which is attributed to gender-based discrimination and 95 per cent of the gap between the earnings of male and female casual wage workers is due to discrimination.
According to the report, gender discrimination is the reason for 98 per cent of the employment gap between males and females.
“Woman in India despite their same educational qualification and work experience as men will be discriminated in the labour market due to societal and employers' prejudices,” it said.
The report further said that 93 per cent of the gap in earnings of males and females is due to discrimination.
“Rural self-employed males earn twice of what females earn in rural areas. Male casual workers earn Rs 3,000 per month more than females, 96 per cent of which is attributed to discrimination,” it said.
As high as 91.1 per cent of the gap in earnings between males and females is explained by discrimination.
The academically recognised statistical model applied in the report is now able to quantify the discrimination women face in the labour market. The lower wages for salaried women are due to 67 per cent of discrimination and 33 per cent due to lack of education and work experience, the report said.
Oxfam India called on the government to actively enforce effective measures for the protection and right to equal wages and work for all women. The Government of India should also incentivise the participation of women in workforce, including enhancement in pay, upskilling, job reservations and easy return-to-work options after maternity, the report said.
What the report finds is if a man and woman starts on an equal footing, the woman will be discriminated in the economic sphere where she will lag behind in regular/salaried, casual and self-employment, said Amitabh Behar, CEO of Oxfam India.
"The inequality in the labour market for gender and other social categories, the report finds, is not just due to poor access to education or work experience but because of discrimination," he said.
These findings are based on the government data on employment and labour from 2004-05 to 2019-20.
The Oxfam India report refers to unit level data from 61st round National Sample Survey (NSS) data on employment-unemployment (2004-05), the Periodic Labour Force Survey in 2018-19 and 2019-20 and All India Debt and Investment Survey by the government.

Women are more likely to have children when men help in household chores, a new study finds. 

Men need to step up their game when it comes to housework. We'll tell you why

Women more likely to have children if men help around the house: Study
In countries with higher fertility rates, men contribute more to housework
Women in Japan &amp; South Korea do 4-5 times more household work than men
In countries where men are less involved in housework women have fewer babies
Lower birth rates can lead to an older global population &amp; fewer working taxpayers

Women are more likely to have children when men help in household chores, a new study finds.

Researchers found that in countries where men do more household chores, women tend to have more babies. The reverse is true in countries where men do less housework.

An analysis by the Nikkei newspaper of data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development shows that in countries with higher fertility rates such as Belgium, France and Norway, men contribute more to household tasks. On the other hand, in countries where men are less involved in housework women have fewer babies.
The gap is more pronounced in Japan and South Korea, as women in these countries do 4-5 times more household work than men. In Japan, the birth rate has fallen to 1.34 children per woman and in South Korea, it has dropped to 0.84.
As per experts, this trend can have enormous implications. It can lead to an increasingly older global population and fewer working taxpayers to fund their pensions and health care. To maintain a steady population, a country's birth rate must be 2.1 or higher, researchers concluded.&nbsp;
