Abstract
Gender is a primary marker of social and economic stratification and, as a result, of exclusion. For more than two decades, the goal of reducing gender inequality has held a prominent place in international organizations and in national strategy statements. Where does the Jharkhand state stand with regard to gender parity in well-being? This paper explores that question. This paper examines the evidence available on the distribution of wealth gender-wise around Jharkhand. Specifically, it seeks to analyze the effects of having women’s name on the land title, where land property is typically family governed, and where preexisting norms may bias against women’s land ownership. In this paper we use the data taken from NFHS-4 and we use Lorenz curve to show the Inequality.
