Full Description
The book traces long-standing societal unjust structures and transformations in South Asia to highlight persistent inequality and lost potential, with a central emphasis on gender disparities and their impact on well-being/ill-being. Focusing on recent decades marked by rapid technological change, it highlights missed opportunities, particularly the failure to invest in women. The book analyzes this neglect and its substantial social costs, examining impacts on health, education, and labor productivity through the lens of cultural norms, policies, and institutions. Beyond quantitative analysis, the book incorporates key political developments and accounts of women engaged in social activism to highlight the resilience and agency of women across the region. In doing so, it presents long-term trends and historical trajectories, while identifying critical moments of missed opportunity. Ultimately, the book conveys a clear message to social planners: women should not be treated as a standalone concern, but rather integrated at the core of all development agendas, a prerequisite for achieving inclusive and sustainable societal prosperity.
