Gender Bind / Unfair Share
In Times of India [ March 08,2011 ], Ms. Rema Nagarajan provides following insights :
Women own 1 per cent of the world’s wealth, have a 10 per cent share in global income
Women comprise half the world’s population but occupy just 14 per cent of leadership positions in the private and public sector
Of the 1.4 billion people living on less than $ 1 a day, 70 per cent are women and girls
Women do two-thirds of the world’s work, but earn only 10 percent of the income
Women produce half of the world’s food, but own just 1 per cent of its land
Of the almost 900 million adults worldwide who can’t read or write, two-thirds are women
Will mankind [ on “ Women’s Day “ 2011, should I say, womankind ? ] manage to bridge this gap by end of 21st Century ?
With regards
