“ Ensuring that every individual has an qual opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents “ ———National Human Rights Commission 



The term Gender refers to the Economic , Social , and Cultural Attributes and Opportunities associated with being  Male or Female . In most societies , being a Man or Woman is not simply a matter of differential biological and physical characteristics .Gender equality intrinsically linked to sustainable development and is vital to the realisation of human rights for all . The gender equality is very essential to achieve the goal of women empowerment . The objective of gender quality his society is which women and men enjoy the same opportunities , rights and obligations in all spheres of life . Equality between men and women exists when both genders are able to share equality in the distribution of power and influence. Have equal opportunities for financial independence through work or through setting up businesses . 


In gender distrubution we focus on 4 types of employees - executives , specialised workers administrative staff and auxiliary workers . Under each type , we construct 2 variables to measure gender distribution . The 1st is female labour force % , which is defined as female LF % and the other variable is gender equivalence , which is defined as gender equivalence = 1. Among the administrative staff , this unequal gender distribution s seems to be severe . Among the medium and smalll firms ,35% of them hire more female staff than male staff. In Auxiliary staff , majority of them are male workers . Over the half of the big farms are engaging male workers only . Gender equality in 60’s is like the women should not Wouk in public .But ,now in 21st century , both men are equally working society . 



Equality between. Men and women exists when both the people are able to share equally in the distribution of the power and influence . Gender equality is the empowerment of women , with a focus of identifying and redressing power imbalances and giving women more autonomy to mange their own lives . Women empowerment is vital to sustainable development and realisation of human rights for all .
