If data on women workers is not separated by caste age and contract type what may be missed in policy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Specific barriers and needs of different groups by caste, age and contract type
Without disaggregated data by caste, age and contract type, policy may fail to identify which groups of women face greater discrimination, insecure work, low pay or safety concerns. An overall participation rate or average wage gap may be useful, but it can hide barriers faced by particular groups. Exam tip: link such questions with disaggregated data and intersectional inequality.
