- W2209396749 abstract "PIP: The Committee on the Status of Women in India recognized early in its investigation that the anti-discrimination approach, reflected in laws and dependence on education, legal equality, and the franchise as major instruments for women's development, had failed to bring about a meaningful improvement in women's status. Significant processes of decline in women's status which had begun much earlier had continued unchecked after independence in 1947 and were actually accelerated by development planning. Demographic statistics which show a decline in the proportion of women in the Indian population, a declining female economic participation rate since the early 20th century, and a high rate of female migration caused by economic distress and declining employment opportunities, and rising number and proportion of women illiterates, provide evidence of the decline in women's status in India. A search for the reasons why earlier policy had failed led to realization that development aggravated the inequalities persisting within traditional roles. Women in the working sectorsof the population had traditionally played major roles in agriculture, industry, and services, but the official 5-Year Plans of the Indian government had totally ignored their contribution. Statutory laws which tried to ensure women's equality were modelled very often of the laws in industrialized societies and tended to ignore the uncoded customary laws that were closer to the realities of poor women's lives. The right of divorce, of remarriage after widowhood, and of a share of property, which were traditionally denied to elite women, were generally prevalent among the lower cases and tribes by custom, but the influence of elite culture has been eroding them for a long time. Statutory laws brought some relief to women of the elite, but not to the poor. Various working groups have identified strategies to reverse the economic marginalization of women, but acceptance of their recommendations has been halting and ambivalent. The response from implementing agencies has been extremely slow and unimaginative. The government faces problems of slowing economic growth, inflation, and rising poverty, and has not yet given priority to the issuse of women's employment and development. The only sectors in which recognition has been given to the link between women's development and general economic development are the anti-poverty programs, especially in rural areas, and competent personnel, especially at the local level where implementation occurs. The issues of dowry deaths and other violence against women have remains to be assessed." @default.
