The
country would be adding an additional USD 700 billion to its economy if its
share of the women workforce increases to 48 per cent from the present 24 per
cent, chief executive officer of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant said Thursday.
For this, attention should be on women's
health and education, Kant said while delivering his speech during the 7th N J
Yasaswy Memorial Lecture at ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education here. Yasaswy
was a finance and investment writer and a founding member of ICFAI University.
"Nation can grow at a rate of 9 per cent to 10 per cent only if there is
gender parity," he said.
Only
24 per cent of the women in the country work, while the percentage is 48 across
the world. To achieve this, men have to push women into employment, Kant said.
There is a need to create jobs for women for which their education and
nutrition, especially in rural areas and eastern parts of the country, were
imperative, he said.
Creation
of a world-class infrastructure like in China is a challenge to India where
there is a mismatch between demand and supply, Kant said while touching upon
challenges India faces to achieve growth. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
The
government should take up greenfield infrastructure projects on roads and
airports and allow private sector for operations and maintenance, he said. The Total
