Some reasons why women’s representation is so low in India are:
- Stereotyping career opportunities for women.
- Low literacy rate of women in India.
- Women do not get equal opportunity in politics.
America and Europe have not achieved a satisfactory level of women’s representation in legislature. With 29.5 % and 26.4 %, they are far behind in providing equal opportunity to women politicians.
