Social factors have a huge influence on gender inequality. India has a social hierarchy which is linked to cultural and religious ideas which is discriminatory against women. Women have a secondary position in society and come after men, these long standing inequalities force them to be dependent on men.
•
This led to honour killings which is unlawful killing of a woman who is perceived to have brought dishonour to the family. These murders are by a woman's family as revenge for bringing shape upon the household honour.
•
Honour killing is a severe social factor that is an expression of the patriarchal system which suggests that women are treated with disdain even by their own families.
•
However point can be??
Economic factors have a huge influence on gender inequality as women have limited access to employment opportunities and are often expected to remain at home, raise children, and conduct domestic chores.
•
Even women who have completed secondary and tertiary education still have not entered the workforce, this makes it hard for them to not abide by social norms of marriage and immediate motherhood.
•
Only 27% of female participation in the labour force. Limited access to the workforce adds to dependency on husbands so women are less financially independent. HOWEVER Social factors such as early forced marriages impact the employment opportunities of women. Early forced marriages have a negative impact on the girls their education ends, job prospects are diminished and they are more vulnerable to poverty and exclusion.
•
Women have limited political empowerment through lack of participation in councils and government institutions. Underrepresentation of women in parliament can lead to a lack of priority being given to women’s rights issues or concerns. Women have poor representation in India's parliament with only 11% of women make up the parliament. This means the government has less pressure to be aware of women’s rights abuses as there aren't enough women in parliament to speak up and address these issues.
