Environmental Sustainability, Growth Trajectory and Gender focuses
on three major issues affecting developing economies: environmental
sustainability, growth trajectory and gender. The social, economic
and environmental consequences of climate change and loss of
essential ecosystems are becoming increasingly apparent. Within the
global community, the challenges of sustainable development and
gender equality are growing in importance. The knowledge and
collective action of women would improve productivity, boost
conservation of ecosystems and enhance economic growth in
developing countries. Environmental Sustainability, Growth
Trajectory and Gender provides a wealth of information for academic
researchers, postgraduate students, and faculties of different
disciplines, and will lead to increased awareness, policies and
actions that will enhance gender equality and provide full
enjoyment of sustainable development.
Gender inequality has wide-ranging and adverse implications for all
of society. For this reason, the United Nations has made it a top
priority to address this issue through the Sustainable Development
Goals, which state that gender equality is not only a fundamental
human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous,
and sustainable world. Gender Inequality and its Implications on
Education and Health explains the different implications of gender
inequality and finds solutions to our most pressing issues. The
authors of these collected studies show that though in various
contexts around the globe, girls and women are discouraged and
prevented from receiving quality education, proper health care,
women empowerment and social justice, if this exclusion is
eliminated it produces many additional socio-economic gains that
benefit entire societies. Focusing largely on India to explore
firstly the implications of gender inequality on education and
health and then gender inequality and its implications to other
SDGs, the chapters extend globally to analyse countries from Asia,
Australia, Africa, and Europe. Raising awareness among stakeholders
and institutions to recognise the importance of gender inequality
throughout the world and its various implications – especially on
education and health – Gender Inequality and its Implications on
Education and Health provides strategies to achieve gender
equality.
