| Summary, etc |
The growth and recognition of women in rural India in the economic domain is bound by differences in societal set up they are part of. Though rural women and their contributions are many, yet they are seen as a “missing entity”, especially when it comes to asset ownership. In the context of rural India, agricultural land and housing form two major assets, where women's identity is missing. This is highly influenced by the nature and setup of the society these women belong to. In light of the above, the objective of the study was to understand the influence of societal set up on ownership of the assets of agricultural land and housing. Also, the problems that the “other gender” faces in accessing them through instances of public policies was highlighted. To analyse the effect of societal set-up, two different societies, matrilineal in Meghalaya and patrilineal in Uttar Pradesh were taken as case studies. The study followed the rationale of highlighting the need for inclusion of gender dimension in asset ownership. Data was gathered from reports of Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana -Gramin, different Agricultural Census and Socio-economic caste Census. The methodology adopted was Data Augmented Descriptive Analysis. Further, SWOT analysis was undertaken to analyse the economic system to provide for ownership of these assets. It was found that matrilineal societies do not perform better at asset ownership especially land as well like patrilineal societies despite of their female dominated societal setup, highlighting the need for inclusion of the gender dimension in asset ownership. - Reproduced
