Influencing Adolescent Girls from underprivileged backgrounds to become career intentional: The Case for India
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
To sustain and accelerate the growth of the socio-economic machinery of our country, this growth needs to be inclusive – specifically of women/girls who constitute 48.5% of our population, 70% of who live outside urban India. The lives of these women are interspersed with challenges which are dire consequences of the poverty stricken families they belong to. Female feoticide& infanticide, inability to pursue education due to lack of money and infrastructural support, child marriage, sexual abuse and domestic violence are realities of their lives.How can girls from such backgrounds be given equal access of the opportunities of progressive India? What kinds of interventions can help these girls complete formal education that can make them corporate-ready (and not become part of the largely unaccounted segment of domestic laborers?)? What will be the socio-economic impact on the country? These are some pertinent questions this paper will attempt to answer.
