India is the fastest growing large economy and is the fifth largest economy in the world. However, India�s economic growth is still restricted by rampant gender inequality. Gender inequality refers to disparity between men and women in the use of available resources, opportunities and power in social institutions. India is also the one of the youngest economies in the world. While most of the countries are ageing, India is still young. This opens the window of opportunity for India become a key leader in the global economy. But this is possible only through enhancing women�s opportunities and their contributions to the Indian economy. Thus, gender inequality is not only a social problem affecting individuals but also an economic problem affecting the entire economy. It is to be noted that gender inequality consumes a significant share of India�s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) potential. This study aims to examine the impact of gender inequality in education, health, employment and political participation. The trends of gender inequality in these areas are analysed and suggestive measures are also put forward in this research.
