इनडोर पाइप से पेय जल की आपूर्ति से किसे लाभ होता है? लैंगिक आधार पर विश्लेषण
भारत में, घरों में इनडोर पाइप से पेय जल (आईपीडीडब्ल्यू) की आपूर्ति बहुत सीमित है, और महिलाओं पर इसका प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पड़ता है क्योंकि उन्हें बाहर से पानी लाने का बोझ उठाना पड़ता है। यह लेख 2005-2012 के भारत मानव विकास सर्वेक्षण डेटा का उपयोग करते हुए दर्शाता है कि परिवारों को इनडोर पाइप से पेय जल मिलने से रोजगार में- विशेष रूप से ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में कृषि और गैर-कृषि रोजगार- दोनों के मामले में लैंगिक अंतर को कम करने में मदद मिल सकती है।
