Female labour income in India is at 18%, says World Inequality Report
The Hindu
It’s the national aggregate labour income earned by women relative to the total aggregate of labour income in a country
Men in India capture 82% of labour income, while women earn just 18%, according to the first-ever estimates of the gender inequality in global earnings presented in the World Inequality Report 2022 released earlier this week.
The female share of the total labour income is the national aggregate labour income earned by women relative to the total aggregate of labour income within a country. In a country with perfect equality between women and men, the female labour income share would be equal to 50%. But the report finds that it is below 50% around the world, with significant variations across countries, ranging from below 10% to 45%. The report covered 180 countries between 1990 to 2019.
Female labour income in India of 18.3% is lower than the average for Asia, which was at 27% in 2019.
