TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Significance of Gender-related Development Indicators: An Analysis of Indian States JO - Indian journal of gender studies A1 - Rustagi, Preet SP - 291 EP - 343 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - This article illustrates the complexities of gender-related development through an analysis of individual indicators covering issues of women’s work, education, health, survival, safety and participation in public/private decision-making. State level comparisons based on selected individual gender-related indicators reveal divergent patterns of development, highlighting the problems that complexity and non-linearity pose for measuring gender development. In the absence of unilinear patterns of gender development across Indian states, the significance of non-composite indicators and their importance for problem identification and effective intervention is highlighted.
