“…[30][31][32] Again, in a study conducted in India in 2020, it was determined that there has been a decrease of 18% in infant mortality rates in the last thirty years, 60% in males and 57% in females in deaths under the age of five. 33 According to the results of the analysis, it can be said that India and Indonesia achieved these results by using their resources effectively. The most important difference between Turkey, India, and Indonesia only when the input variables with values below average output is variable with values above average.…”

The aim of this study is to compare the relative effectiveness of the health systems' performance on the health status of women according to the education level of women, their income level and the ratio of health expenditures to GDP of E7 countries. For this purpose, 4 inputs and 2 output variables were determined. As a result of the correlation analysis conducted before the analysis, the input variable "Education level (Population with at least secondary education, 15 years and over, female)", which is among the input variables and has a high correlation with other variables, was excluded from the analysis. The input oriented CCR-DEA model was used in the study. The analysis results in India, Indonesia and Turkey techniques fully effective; Russia was 93% efficient, China 87.49%, Mexico 84.93% and Brazil 82.3%. Unlike countries that enabled the analysis results with values below the average in Turkey while the input variables have values above the average in the output variables. Therefore, it is for example among the E7 countries with the highest number to have access to the technical activities to other countries in terms of the number of reference Turkey.

“…India is characterised by large gender gaps in various development indicators in education, health, political participation, income etc (World Economic Forum, 2022;Agarwal et al, 2021;Jain, 2016;Pal et al, 2020) While the gaps in many of these indicators have declined steadily in the last few decades (Bhattacharjee et al, 2015), it is often suggested that daily lives of Indians remain gendered and this is true in spite of the progress made in overall development indicators. In Indian households, social norms and preferences ensure a gendered division of 'labour' over various 'economic' and 'non-economic' activities necessary for the smooth functioning of households.…”

Is female labour force participation a good proxy for gendered time use? How do geography and the social institutions of caste and religion interact with the gendered distributionof time within Indian households? In this study, we use gender distance metrics, inspired by distance measures between vectors, to measure and document the extent to which time allocation within households is gendered. Importantly, we find that the relationship between gender distance and labour force participation is not monotonic and the linear relationship between the two is not statistically strong. Furthermore, we show that the relationship of caste, religion and region with gendered time use metrics is distinct from their relationship with employment. In contrast to popular hypotheses which suggest North Indian, Muslim,and Upper Caste households are more gender unequal, interestingly we only find robust confirmation for the hypothesis related to Islam in our regression framework. To further estimate the direct contribution of caste and religion in explaining the gendered time use gap betweengroups (as distinct from the contribution of differential distribution of covariates between groups), we supplement our regression results with Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) decomposition and Dinardo-Fortin-Lemeieux (1996) decomposition. These analyses confirm that caste and religion have complex and unexpected heterogeneous effects on the intensity of gendered timeuse. JEL Codes: J16, J21, J22, Z12, Z13
