To live, learn and earn Beti Padhao – ten years since Beti Bachao has been a popular slogan that Indian women need now, is a bridge from education to employment. The government’s decision to free them Periodic employment survey (PLFS) Every month is a positive step, but must be carried out more for gender equality in education and employment. The real -time monitoring of gender -specific employment data is the global standard practice.
The latest decision shows the recognition of the part of the government to use such data for well -founded political decision, which causes timely and effective interventions. A developing nation has to spend several fronts challenges. Intersectional problems must be addressed at the same time. Strengthening women is such a multifaceted topic.
Unequal distribution of the household in household
If gender -specific data is taken into account, dark statistics can overshadow incremental improvements. At the same time, over -optimism can weigh us in complacency. The recognition of the depth and the scale of the problem leads to sustainable politics and permanent solutions.
The April -PLFS data show that female unemployment was higher for the youth in 14.4% than 13.6% for men. In the regions in all regions, the unemployment rate for women in urban areas was higher, but it was the opposite in rural areas. The report states that this could be due to higher female preferences for education and low employment opportunities in urban areas compared to rural areas.
The acquisition rate (LFPR) – the proportion of people aged 15 and about the work or activation of work – was only significantly low for women in April in April, compared to 77.7% in men. A 2023 report about People’s use of women If this significant gap in the employment population, lights up between the sexes.

The reasons for women who choose from the workforce are also generally known. According to the results of the PLFS 2021-22, the percentage distribution of men and women who are not due to their main reasons in the employment population is as follows:
Up to 44.5% of women cited childcare/personal commitments in housework as the most reason. 33.65% women delayed employment, citing a preference to continue the study. For men, 71.7% of the desired university formation in contrast, 16.7% stated that health/age -related reasons had kept them out of the workforce.
The average time (in minutes) for employment and the associated activities was 287 for men and 71 for women. In contrast, the average time of women for unpaid domestic services for household members was 236 minutes compared to only 24 minutes for men
The second All-India time use survey report 2024 shows the strong difference in the distribution of male and female house load. The average time (in minutes) for employment and the associated activities was 287 for men and 71 for women. In contrast, the average time of women for unpaid domestic services for household members was 236 minutes compared to only 24 minutes for men. The time use of 2024 gives an insight into the length of it Unequal distribution of the household in household.
The modern economy is based on the non -recognized domestic workers, which are mainly supplied by women. Even women work practically double layers, do the household work and nursing tasks during the free time of employees. However, greater employment can improve the distribution of housework, even if it remains uneven between men and females.
Consciousness campaigns can help to eliminate gender -specific norms
The governments, both in the center and in the states, have implemented Financial support programs to move more women into the workforce. This includes help in the form of unsecured/secured loans and fee concepts of entrepreneurs, including those who want to set up micro developments.
However, this is not enough. Women have to be mobilized to join the workforce on a base of the war. Speaking of war, it was indeed the Second World War that brought an unprecedented number of western women to the formal workforce when the governments hurried to fill vacancies that were called back to military service. Communication campaigns were specially developed for women. “Rosie the Riveter” with her famous “We Can To It” Slogan is now a US cultural icon representative for the contribution of women to the war effort.
The call to action was not the war itself, but the spirit of the service that it inspired for the country and the compatriots. Messaging can play an important role in the upbringing of the citizens and the elimination of gender -specific norms of society.

An attempt to tackle this gender -specific distortion through tactical messaging was observed during the recent tensions between India and Pakistan when two female military officers were used as faces of the operational developments. The choice of the individual belief of the officers also showed how inclusive the use of communication power can be. These female officers became the face of the conflict – at the same time a message of unity in diversity, a warning for peace and leadership of women in so -called male bastions.
Need for employment for the unemployed young people
In today’s Indian context, no player exceeds the government’s monopoly when propagating mass campaigns. During its ten -year term, the BJP LED Center set its dominance in media rooms and public information. It must use this influence on the breaking of the gender -specific obstacles and the agent of the change that is needed at the base, so that the development guided by women becomes more than a catchphrase.
The government should focus on offering a massive number of unemployed young people in the country and creating work areas and creating opportunities in which the people imposed – from women to people with disabilities – can be able to contribute to the economy and earn a fair life
Over ten years, since the prime minister shaped the slogan “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao”, the time has come to change the message. The government should concentrate on offering a massive number of unemployed young people in the country and creating work areas and creating opportunities in which the people imposed – from women to people with disabilities – can contribute to economy and earn a living. From advertising boards to buses, the call for volunteers from Viksit Bharat must come back with an integrative approach across the country. Visual marketing of an idea is also also important.
The ambassador for this movement could be the ordinary Indian in upside down roles – think of a mechanic or a male housewife, etc. – pictures that question the gender -specific norms. We saw the depths of marketing that worried us as a child: “Why can’t girls get dirty while playing what silky hair has to do with being good in football”, and of course the deeply problematic fair and the beautiful commercials. Since then, advertising has been covered. The audience has also matured.

Product marketing is not so different from campaigns in the public interest. Both strive to lead the viewer’s efforts. A good idea is usually easy in the communication rule book. One of the simplest changes that promote the inclusiveness in the collective psyche and prepare men for diversity at work is the design of advertising material, in which women are represented in unconventional roles.
Such a representation must pursue in the village of Chowks and not remain limited to corporate reports that promote your efforts to the (diversity, justice and inclusion). At the same time, this must be pursued by the real intent to register more women and other people from underrepresented communities as employees in all industries, and even impose punishments in which the Bloy minimum is not fulfilled, and those who exceed the benchmark are stimulated.
It is a monumental task to reduce centuries of anchored gender bias that exclude women from the workforce. Fortunately, every new generation is an opportunity to start again. Children are not born with prejudices. If we can only raise a generation of integrative academic material, entertainment and commercials as well as for living options, the roots of the patriarchy will loosen up.
India has always stimulated two realities that are going forward despite the firmly anchored social prejudices that produce inefficiencies. For example, the status of educational data 2024 from Azer shows a slight increase in girls who are not inscribed in the high school and in the gaps in performance in digital tasks by gender. However, what is undeniable is constant progress in all parameters – be it enrollment, fundamental competence and numerity results, digital literacy and school facilities. The identified gaps must be regarded as opportunities for improvement. The same is the purpose of the monthly work data. It will record gaps, card trends and evidence -based decision -making. The 2024 Azer results are both underline Progress and gaps in the educational results for girls.
In the meantime, it is the ripe time to confiscate the swing specified by LT Col Qureshi and Wing Commander Singh. A media flash that questions gender -normative employment and set new opportunities for women, disabled people, people on the edge and the entire unemployed young people must affect their message about national awareness. The fact that emerging industries are in a mission mode to increase qualified workers makes hitting for equity. This is a moment in Indian history, perhaps like the Second World War of the western women’s emancipation movement. If not a revolution, the need as a powerful catalyst for social change can act.
