  • Abstract:
  • Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all. It emphasises on gender justice and gender equality in terms of equal job opportunities and equal pay for men and women. However, despite India’s commitment to the SDGs and various policy and legislative reforms being undertaken at all levels, discrimination against women in India remains a deep-seated issue. The paper tries to explore gender disparity in the Indian labour market with regard to employment and the structure of wage distribution across gender, work status, and across rural-urban regions. Substantial inequality in the worker population ratio among male and female workers across rural and urban areas is found and women workers earn much lower wages than their male counterparts. In India the wage disparity exists within various categories of workers and it is higher among casual workers. Again, it is higher in urban areas as compared to rural areas. This calls for adopting holistic approach to macro policies which include not only labour and related policies but also all social and development policies.
