Educating girls is crucial for a country’s socio-economic development. The implications generated are quite profound not only for the girls themselves but also for their families. Apart from cultural norms and gender biases, economic constraints act as one of the most relevant barriers contributing to gender polarity when it comes to education, particularly in India. Families often prioritize the education of the male child when they lack financial resources as men are considered the breadwinners and women’s education gets perceived unworthy as they get married off to another household hence the family would believe that they won’t reap anything from investing in women’s education. The relevance of the dowry system and gender roles also play a huge role in why the majority of women are still unemployed.
