There was a recent article in Economic Times, a business newspaper in India, about a survey done by somebody about how much fewer women in the labor market costing the economy of India. The survey found the number to be in Billions of dollars. Duh! why do a survey when its so obvious and simple. This is simple, two hands can do more work than one and four more than two, but it is very important for India, To become an Economic power in this world, the women had to contribute equally or more than men for that to happen.
I was trying to find the link for the article i mentioned earlier but instead found this, "The Economics of Dowries in India" , a paper written by Vijayender Rao of Developmental Research Group, World Bank. It is very interesting. One of the functions of www.warondowry.com (a project in progress) is to discuss the economics related to dowry.
If you are wondering when i am gonna talk about what women need, here it is. Women need an education in economics, i bet if somebody does a survey about women professionals, they will find that women with a degree in economics will be the most successful women financially because they know the cash flow and intern they will be the most happy people around.

World Economic Forum, released the report for global gender gap for 2007. India is ranked 114 of the 128 countries. This is not cent percent right but it does show how big of a gap exists between men and women in India compared to other countries. Women across the world are playing big role today in every aspect of life and this role is going to get bigger, and Indians are definitely lagging behind. We need to change this if we want to see India as a economic giant.
