You will be surprised to know that for the same amount of work, women are paid 62% less than males in our country; only 30% of women are economically active in India and between 2009 and 2010, it was found that only 13.8% of urban workers in India are women, while in rural areas, 26.1% of all workers are women. Such huge gender disparity in Indian working environment and jobs is costing us a fortune.
