It is hoped that the present work will be of immense importance for the economists and entrepreneurs.

Globalization has presented new challenges for the realization of the goal of women's equality, the gender impact of which has not been systematically evaluated fully. However, from the micro-level studies that were commissioned by the Department of Women & Child Development, it is evident that there is a need for reforming policies for access to employment and quality of employment. Benefits of the growing global economy have been unevenly distributed leading to wider economic disparities, the feminization of poverty, increased gender inequality through often deteriorating working conditions and unsafe working environment especially in the informal economy and rural areas. Strategies will be designed to enhance the capacity of women and empower them to meet the negative social and economic impacts, which may flow from the globalization process. All forms of violence against women, physical and mental, whether at domestic or societal levels, including those arising from customs, traditions or accepted practices shall be death with effectively with a view to eliminate its incidence. Institutions and mechanisms/schemes for assistance will be created and strengthened for prevention of such violence, including sexual harassment at work place and customs like dowry; for the rehabilitation of the victim of violence and for taking effective action against the perpetrators of such violence. A special emphasis will also be laid on programmes and measures to deal with trafficking in women and girls.

This encyclopaedic work, in two parts, encompasses vital information on the problem of gender equality and allied issues. Based on authentic information, gathered from various authoritative sources and supported by facts and figures, this has become a veritable mine of information. The entire material is organised under twenty seven chapters followed by appendices and bibliography.

The social problems of contemporary India are the result of a complex nexus between the factors of exclusion and inclusion rooted in history, values, and cultural ethos. Many of these problems based on the policy of segregation have not been addressed by the development strategy launched since Independence. India has the distinction of having the first sub-national State Human Development Report (SHDR) for the state of Madhya Pradesh in 1995. Since then, the State has published its SHDRs twice in 1998 and 2002. Fourteen other States of Assam, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Sikkim, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Punjab, Nagaland, Orissa, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Kerala have launched their SHDRs.
