Private education gender gap persists across caste and income groups in India
Published
A data analysis finds that caste and household resources strongly shape access to private schools and tuition, while the disadvantage faced by girls does not track neatly with either factor or with progress through school.
Why it matters
The pattern suggests that expanding household income or school access alone may not close gender disparities without policies addressing decisions made within families and institutions.
