New Delhi: The Women's Reservation Bill, which has been tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, addresses a very urgent need. India ranks 141 among 185 countries in terms of the percentage of women in the Lok Sabha and its figure of 15% is not only lower than the global average but also neighbours like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal.

Data from the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the global organisation of national parliaments, shows that the percentage of women in the lower house of Parliament in India is only 15%, which is much less than the global average of 26%. The data takes into account the lower houses of parliament for countries that have a bicameral legislature (an upper house and a lower house), or the parliament for those with a unicameral legislature, or only one house.

In Pakistan, which has been taking steps for women's reservation since 1956, the figure is 20%. The country had reserved 17% of the seats in the National Assembly for women in 2002.

Bangladesh has a unicameral legislature and 50 out of 350 seats in its 'Jatiya Sangsad' are reserved for women. The current percentage of women in the country's parliament is 21.

At 33.09, the percentage is much better for Nepal, but very close to the one-third of seats for women that had been reserved for women in 2007. The lower house of the Nepal parliament is called the House of Representatives.

The figures for countries like the US and the UK are 29 and 35, respectively. According to the data, some of the countries that have a lower percentage of women representatives than India are Sri Lanka (5%), Qatar (4%), Oman (2%) and Kuwait (3%).

At 50%, countries that have equal representation of men and women include New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates. The list is topped by Rwanda, with 61% of representatives in its lower house being women.

The Women's Reservation Bill, which has been tabled by Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, seeks to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The percentage of women in the Rajya Sabha is about 14, according to data shared by the government last year.

Wives and daughters of feudals do not advance the cause of women.

Letting women work is the only way to emancipation.

Also leads to higher economic growth and lower birth rate.

Win, win!

If the wife works family is ruined, the veil is ruined. If the wife works, society is ruined : Bangladeshi bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Whilst i do not agree with him, he should be free to voice his opinion in a democracy. Others can politely disagree and provide counter points and be prepared to agree to disagree.

before pointing on India... what's your opinion on this?

Because most Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are supporting and saying that women should not work. but here, they will not miss chance to criticize India with no use..

Bangladesh has much higher percentage of women in both formal and informal work than Bharat.

Not far off from European countries.

Means nothing, if the people are not competent. Mindlessly going for these reservations will convert the parliaments into an even worse idiot house. Has any of these reservation members sponsored some quality legislation that ended up as law or chaired a committee that held hearings on important issue and made sound recommendations? Just sitting in the backbenches and voting yea or nay based on party affiliation does no good. They can replace her with a robot.

BD and the Bengali society in general is highly respectful to Women. It is a combination of social transformation that was started quite early within Bengali society in 1800. I believe, one of the key factors for BD's dramatic rise of its development is women's empowerment in your society. The rest of the South Asian countries should think about it.

Hindutva extremists are clearly opposed to women empowerment.

Ever since Modi came to power India's female labor force participation has been going down and now sits at around 20%, against Bangladesh's 40%.

Strangely enough though, Indians don't really mind when their women rent out their wombs to foreign couples for money.
