印度正在见证一个历史性时刻,市场、社会和政治力量的融合可能会重新定义该国的经济未来。世界经济论坛最近的一份报告预测,按照目前的进展速度,实现性别平等将需要 134 年的时间——这个令人震惊的时间表凸显了重新构想性别平等方法的紧迫性。
India is at a historic juncture where the convergence of market, social, and political forces could redefine the nation’s economic future. A recent report by the World Economic Forum predicts that, at the current rate of progress, gender parity will take 134 years to achieve — an alarming timeline that highlights the urgency of reimagining our approach to gender equity. While India has made commendable progress in closing the gender gap, it remains insufficient. With only 64.1% of its gender gap closed in 2024, the country ranks 129th globally, indicating the need for transformative policies.
印度正处于一个历史关头,市场、社会和政治力量的融合可能会重新定义国家的经济未来。世界经济论坛最近的一份报告预测,按照目前的进展速度,实现性别平等将需要 134 年的时间——这个令人震惊的时间表凸显了重新构想性别平等方法的紧迫性。尽管印度在缩小性别差距方面取得了值得称赞的进展,但仍然不够。该国在 2024 年仅缩小了 64.1% 的性别差距,在全球排名第 129 位,这表明需要变革性政策。
Past success stories, such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), demonstrate that coordinated efforts across various sectors can yield substantial results. PMJDY, which revolutionised financial inclusion, exemplifies the Trifecta Effect — a synergistic alignment of market dynamics, social initiatives, and political will. To fully tap into the potential of the female workforce and achieve meaningful gender parity, India must apply this approach to the care economy.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) 等过去的成功案例表明,各部门的协调努力可以产生实质性成果。 PMJDY 彻底改变了金融包容性,体现了三重效应——市场动态、社会倡议和政治意愿的协同结合。为了充分挖掘女性劳动力的潜力并实现有意义的性别平等,印度必须将这种方法应用于护理经济。
The care economy—which includes childcare, elder care, and healthcare services—is an often overlooked yet critical sector that holds transformative potential for India’s economy. According to the International Monetary Fund, achieving gender parity could boost India’s GDP by an astonishing 27%. By strategically investing just 2% of GDP in the care economy, India could create 11 million new jobs, significantly increasing female workforce participation. This investment would not only address pressing social needs but also unleash economic growth. More women in the workforce would lead to greater financial independence, reduced gender disparities, and a more inclusive, sustainable economic model. The impact would be profound, empowering women, strengthening families, and fostering a more equitable society.
护理经济——包括儿童保育、老年人护理和医疗保健服务——是一个经常被忽视但却至关重要的部门,对印度经济具有变革潜力。根据国际货币基金组织的数据,实现性别平等可以使印度的 GDP 增长惊人的 27%。通过战略性地将 GDP 的 2% 投资于护理经济,印度可以创造 1100 万个新就业机会,显着提高女性劳动力参与度。这项投资不仅可以解决紧迫的社会需求,还可以释放经济增长。更多女性加入劳动力队伍将带来更大的经济独立、缩小性别差距以及更具包容性、可持续的经济模式。其影响将是深远的,赋予妇女权力,巩固家庭,并促进一个更加公平的社会。
However, the Trifecta Effect is not without its challenges. Aligning market, social, and political forces is difficult, as each operates under different priorities. Market forces, driven by profit motives, often prioritise short-term gains over long-term societal benefits, leading to hesitancy in investing in gender diversity and inclusion. Social forces, while influential in shaping public opinion, are often hindered by deep-seated cultural norms that resist change. Political forces, despite their capacity to enact gender parity policies, frequently face pushback from vested interests and lack sustained commitment. Misalignments across these forces result in token corporate initiatives, social movements that struggle to gain traction, and political will that falters in the face of opposition.
然而,三连效应并非没有挑战。协调市场、社会和政治力量很困难,因为每种力量都在不同的优先事项下运作。在利润动机的驱动下,市场力量往往优先考虑短期收益而不是长期社会效益,导致人们在投资性别多样性和包容性方面犹豫不决。社会力量虽然对舆论形成具有影响力,但常常受到抵制变革的根深蒂固的文化规范的阻碍。政治力量尽管有能力制定性别平等政策,但经常面临既得利益者的抵制,并且缺乏持续的承诺。这些力量之间的不一致会导致象征性的企业举措、难以获得牵引力的社会运动以及在反对面前动摇的政治意愿。
India’s low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), especially in urban areas where it stands at just 25.6%, reflects a broader systemic issue. Women are disproportionately burdened with unpaid labour, including household chores and caregiving responsibilities, which limits their economic participation. According to the International Labour Organisation, women in India spend nearly six hours per day on unpaid labour, compared to just one hour for men.
印度女性劳动力参与率 (LFPR) 较低,尤其是在城市地区,仅为 25.6%,这反映了更广泛的系统性问题。妇女承担着过多的无酬劳动负担,包括家务劳动和照顾责任,这限制了她们的经济参与。根据国际劳工组织的数据,印度女性每天花近六个小时从事无偿劳动,而男性只有一小时。
A critical policy area is eldercare. As India’s population ages, the demand for eldercare is rising, placing additional pressure on women, who are often the primary caregivers. Government initiatives to provide subsidised eldercare services, along with incentives for private sector investment in this area, would alleviate the caregiving burden on women and open up new employment opportunities within the care economy.
一个关键的政策领域是老年人护理。随着印度人口老龄化,对老年人护理的需求不断增加,这给通常是主要照顾者的女性带来了额外的压力。政府提供有补贴的老年护理服务的举措,以及对私营部门在这一领域投资的激励措施,将减轻妇女的护理负担,并在护理经济中开辟新的就业机会。
According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, closing the gender gap in labour force participation could add $770 billion to India’s GDP by 2025. However, this goal cannot be achieved without addressing the root causes of women’s disproportionate caregiving responsibilities. To unlock the full potential of the care economy, India must prioritise policies that reduce these unpaid burdens and equip women with the necessary skills and opportunities to participate in the workforce. Subsidised childcare services, eldercare facilities, and healthcare support are among the policies that would directly contribute to job creation and economic growth.
根据麦肯锡全球研究所的报告,到 2025 年,缩小劳动力参与方面的性别差距可能会使印度的 GDP 增加 7,700 亿美元。然而,如果不解决女性过度承担照料责任的根本原因,这一目标就无法实现。为了释放护理经济的全部潜力,印度必须优先考虑减少这些无偿负担的政策,并为妇女提供参与劳动力市场所需的技能和机会。补贴儿童保育服务、老年护理设施和医疗保健支持等政策将直接促进创造就业和经济增长。
The underrepresentation of women in corporate leadership is another critical area requiring attention. While there has been a modest increase in women holding leadership positions over the last five years, the numbers remain disproportionately low. Only 56% of organisations report that 10-30% of their leadership positions are occupied by women, and less than 30% of women hired at entry levels make it to leadership roles, compared to their male counterparts. Diversity in top CXO positions is even more dismal, with only 51% of organisations achieving any significant improvement.
企业领导层中女性代表性不足是另一个需要关注的关键领域。尽管过去五年中担任领导职务的女性人数略有增加,但人数仍然过低。只有 56% 的组织表示,其 10-30% 的领导职位由女性担任,与男性同行相比,在初级职位聘用的女性中,只有不到 30% 的女性能够担任领导职务。最高 CXO 职位的多样性更加惨淡,只有 51% 的组织实现了显着改善。
Despite the optics, the harsh reality of social and cultural glass ceilings remains unyielding. Corporate India’s often performative embrace of gender equality and empowerment, symbolised by pervasive “hashtagism,” fails to address the deep-rooted barriers women face. This facade masks the systemic exclusion of women from leadership roles and meaningful workforce participation, perpetuating an environment where true gender parity remains elusive.
尽管存在这样的现象,社会和文化玻璃天花板的严酷现实仍然难以改变。印度企业界经常表现地拥抱性别平等和赋权,以普遍存在的“话题主义”为代表,但未能解决女性面临的根深蒂固的障碍。这种表面现象掩盖了系统性地将女性排除在领导角色和有意义的劳动力参与之外的情况,从而使真正的性别平等仍然难以实现的环境永久存在。
The increase in female board members has largely been driven by government mandates, not organic growth, underscoring the need for policy interventions
女性董事会成员的增加主要是由政府授权推动的,而不是有机增长,这凸显了政策干预的必要性
