| Abstract: | Social norms in India, income inequality and low income, together, are responsible for gender bias against female. Gender bias in education against female is well established in India. Present study, from the NSS 62 round data, reveals that gender bias against female is higher in rural areas compare to the urban areas. Parents spend lesser amount for education on their female child. Both dropout and non enrollment are higher for female due to parental non interest in study. |
