As per the reports of international agencies like World Banks and IMF the situation of women empowerment in developing economies is not very good and the same stands true in case of India. To a certain extent the Industrial policy of 1991 had increased the need of increased worker in industrial and agricultural sector, but then again this increase was just a marginal increase as compared to vast population of the country. This disparity calls for a detailed research study and after acknowledging this need the researcher had tried to evaluate one domain of the issue i.e. gender disparity in employment. Study is based on secondary data and basic statistical tools were used to analyse the data.
Key words: Gender Disparity, GEDI, Women Empowerment, India.
