Abstract: Gender equality is a fundamental human right which entitles everyone to enjoy all the basic facilities with equality and dignity. But inequality in gender proficiencies and their authorities distribution produce variations among them which affects their livelihood. Despite of several measures to bring gender equality, India still measures high gaps in basic facilities like education, health and labour force participation. There are several cultural and social factors measured behind it for delivering such dissimilarities like patriarchal system, old age support from son, elderly care and high desire for sons in the family. Keeping in view women’s unequal status in India, this paper aims to underline determinants of women inadequacy across basic indicators of development. Though there are several other measures too for ascertaining the degree of gender inequalities but as per the need of this study, the indicators such as access to education, health, economic participation and potency of decisions making among the marginalised groups are being analysed. The level of disproportions in these parametric framework replicates all those basic areas of propensities inadequacy that have an adverse effect on women empowerment, country’s productivity, distribution, efficiency and economic growth.
