Key objectives encompass evaluating inequality levels, analysing employment differences, pinpointing social and economic drivers, and recommending targeted interventions. Findings underscore persistent rural-urban divides, with lower female enrolment and workforce participation rates rejecting both hypotheses, fueled by patriarchal norms, poverty, and infrastructural deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preliminary analyses via chi-square tests reveal stark gaps: rural female secondary completion at 45% versus 68% urban, alongside 20.6% female labor participation skewed toward informal sectors. Social factors like early marriage and stereotypes exacerbate educational dropouts, while economic barriers limit job access, despite 2025 co-education mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proposed measures advocate scholarships, safe transport, vocational skilling, and gender audits to foster equity. This research contributes actionable insights for policymakers, promoting inclusive development in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Education Disparities, Employment Gaps, Maharashtra, Rural-Urban Divide, Female Labor Participation, Socio-Cultural Factors, Patriarchal Norms, Policy Interventions, Vocational Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 40-45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/40-45.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Snigdha Kamble DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04031008 Abstract: This study examines gender inequality in education and employment within Maharashtra, India, employing a sample of 148 respondents to rigorously test two null hypotheses: the absence of significant disparities in educational access (H\u2080\u2081) and employment opportunities (H\u2080\u2082) between genders.
