Question
What does equity refer to within the concept of human development?
Advertisements
Solution
- Meaning: Equity refers to ensuring equal access to opportunities for every individual. The opportunities available to people must be equal, irrespective of their gender, race, income, or caste.
- Objective: It aims to remove special privileges or restrictions for any specific group, ensuring everyone has the resources needed to fulfil choices and lead a meaningful life.
- Example: In India, a large number of school dropouts belong to women and socially or economically backward groups. This clearly shows how a lack of access to knowledge limits their choices and opportunities.
