[경제] Women’s struggle for land in South Asia
인도ㆍ남아시아 일반 국외연구자료 연구보고서 - WIDER 발간일 : 2022-08-16 등록일 : 2022-09-25 원문링크
Almost a century has passed since women in South Asia first raised a demand for equal rights in property, especially land, the single most important productive resource in most developing economies. Over time, the struggle broadened and diversified. Despite resistance from conservative lawmakers, this led to notable legal reforms. As a result, the vast majority of Indian women today enjoy legal equality with men in inheritance rights. In neighbouring Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, women's legal rights in family property have increased greatly, albeit not yet equal to men’s in the latter two countries. However, has this changed ground reality? Have legal reforms helped bridge the gender gap in land ownership? Have they trumped restrictive social norms? If not, are there other ways forward?
