In the second episode, we take a look at gaps in gender data in India with a focus on women’s participation in work. Data can reveal many new facts, and it is one of the most powerful tools to address the gender gap, to frame policies, and to bring women into the economy. Good data is essential for India’s progress and lack of data leads to poor policymaking and governance.

Our two expert speakers, Hema Swaminathan, Professor at the Centre for Public Policy at the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, and PC Mohanan, former acting chairman of the National Statistical Commission, along with host Sunaina Kumar discuss how India collects data on women, the gaps in data collection, why we need good gender data, and much more.
