RBI Asst./Sbi Clerk Main Exam 2020: Quiz 12( 14.03.2020)

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Rising levels of education among Indian women have not empowered them to seek spouses who are equally educated, a study has concluded. Comparing marriages between the 1970s and 2000s, the study found that highly educated women married men who were less educated but from more privileged families. According to the study, the rise in such marriages reflects deep-rooted gender scripts in India. The study attributes these marriages to multiple social and economic factors such as caste constraints, lower female participation in the labour market, lower income for women’s work, especially for those with an Arts degree, and limited freedom for women to choose a spouse.
Marriage is almost universal in India, with the proportion of single women going from 0.9% in 1971 to 3.7% in 2011, the study said. While Chinese women may choose to remain single rather than marry a less educated mate, this is not an option easily open to Indian women. Also, due to the custom of arranged marriage, women don’t have the power to choose their spouses. Fewer than 5% of Indians chose their own partners, the study found. In most arranged marriages, the man and the woman belonged to the same caste, further restricting a woman’s options. Another reason for the small marriageable pool is consanguineous marriage, in which blood relatives marry.
The proportion of working-age women who were either employed or looking for work has reduced from 33% in 1993-’94 to 18.2% in 2017-’18, show the latest data available from the Periodic Labour Force Survey. As many as 25 million women have left the Indian labour force over 10 years to 2015, as we reported in April 2016. This is very peculiar to India, that with growth fewer women are participating in the workforce. In South Korea, Japan and China, other countries with patriarchal societies, women’s participation in the labour force increased with economic growth. One reason for this India-specific situation is that women here tend to be constrained to the house. In India, being educated does not necessarily mean that the person will have a job and one reason for this is the poor quality of education that affects employability. Moreover, with little institutional support for childcare, it is less likely that women will work. A woman who has to manage the home and children along with a job also has fewer employment options in terms of work hours and commute. There is also wage discrimination between men and women which further reduces the returns to women’s education. All these factors mean that even educated women would have to seek partners with better economic status. The most important quality for women in the marriage market is good appearance while the corresponding quality for men is their ability to earn a living, the study said. For the younger cohort, the study found that economic potential, trustworthiness and intelligence of the prospective partner are increasingly more valued than other traits and this is true for both men and women.
