Gender wage disparity in India highlights not only the gender bias in the society, but also, an institutional effort to reinforce the same. Critically Analyse.

The labour force participation Rate is 21% for women in India according to LFR (2017)

The one of many reasons for such a low LFR is wage disparity

According to reports, an India women gets only 67% of her male counterpart for same work.

This is due to the patriarchal nature of Indian society where women has always been considered a weaker sex.

This concept of women as weaker by giving low wages for same work reinforces the stereotype and makes it look natural to institutionalise it.
