The concept of feminization of poverty refers to the growing disproportionate representation of women among the poor and the increasing severity of poverty experienced by women, particularly in rural areas. In the context of rural India, this phenomenon is deeply rooted in historical, socio-cultural, economic, and institutional structures that systematically disadvantage women in access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making power. Poverty in rural India is not merely an outcome of low income but a multidimensional condition shaped by unequal land ownership, limited employment opportunities, lack of education, poor health outcomes, and restricted access to natural resources, all of which affect women more intensely than men. Rural India is predominantly agrarian, and land remains the most critical productive asset. However, women’s access to land is highly constrained due to patriarchal inheritance practices, customary laws, and social norms that prioritize male ownership. Even when legal provisions exist to ensure women’s land rights, their implementation remains weak. As a result, rural women often work as unpaid family laborers or as marginal agricultural workers without security of tenure or control over output. This lack of asset ownership significantly contributes to the feminization of poverty, as landlessness limits women’s ability to generate sustainable livelihoods, access credit, or invest in productive activities. Another key dimension of feminization of poverty in rural India is women’s concentration in low-paid, informal, and insecure forms ______ __________ ____ __________ __________.
