Measuring gender inequality in land ownership is essential for assessing progress in women’s economic empowerment, tracing the impact of progressive laws on actual practice, and monitoring SDG 5 on gender equality. To effectively assess inter-gender (male-female) gaps in land ownership, however, requires multiple measures. We also need to know which women are more likely to own land by tracing intra-gender differences. To date, no study on India has provided a full range of measures on inter-gender inequality in land ownership or focused on intra-gender variations.

A new era of the global land rush
Rapports et recherchesseptembre, 2016Australie, Global, Honduras, Inde, Mozambique, Pérou, Sri LankaSince 2009, Oxfam and others have been raising the alarm about a great global land rush.
