'''GENDER DISCRIMINATION-INDIA'S ECONOMY

It has now widely been accepted that a country fully realize its potential without ensuring the participation of women workforce. This remains a serious concern in India's case. Despite its recent economic advances,India's gender balance in labor force participation,entrepreneurship, and growth remains among the lowest in the world. Improving this balance is an important first step for India's development and its achievement of greater economic growth and gender equality.

India is still lagging behind in many areas compared to other developing and developed countries. Statistics reveal that improvement in education hasn't completely chipped away at the gender disparity in employment.

Women entrepreneurs in India are mostly concentrated in low-paying industries. This gender concentration in low-wage industries has increased over time. In the manufacturing sector,tobacco products, apparel and textiles attract the largest count and share of women entrepreneurs, perhaps because these industries are known to have lower physical labor requirements.

Unlocking the potential of women definitely requires an increase and shift in the composition of overall employment opportunities as well as questioning of societal structures. As the country commends itself on world-leading economic growth and aspires towards a $20 trillion economy, it becomes necessary organizations and individuals is critical to bend societal norms for the better.
