An Overview of India's Policy Measures from Gender Perspective: During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound and multifaceted impacts on global economies, with gender disparities becoming increasingly apparent. This paper explores the gendered effects of India's policy measures in response to the pandemic, focusing on the socio-economic challenges faced by women. It assesses the policy interventions implemented by the Indian government to mitigate these impacts, such as cash transfers, healthcare support, and social security measures. Drawing from data collected through the COVID-19 Global Gender Response Tracker, the study highlights the gendered dimensions of these policies and their effectiveness in addressing the unique needs of women during the crisis. The analysis underscores the need for gender-sensitive economic and social policies to ensure equitable recovery and resilience for women in future crises. By critically examining the intersection of gender, policy, and pandemic response, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of gender-inclusive strategies in managing global health emergencies.
