Solution:
The given statement is True.Despite some improvements, women in India are still much behind men. Society is still patriarchal and male-dominated in almost every aspect. India has a long way to go for men and women to be treated equally. The literacy rate among women (54 per cent) is lower than that of men (76 per cent). Most of the labour performed by women in India goes unpaid. It is not surprising that women constitute a tiny proportion of those who have highly paid and valued jobs. Women are paid less in almost all areas, despite the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976, which states that equal wages should be provided for similar work. The child-sex ratio is merely 914 due to rampant sex-selective abortions in India.
