Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Despite high education among women, the rate of women's employment is very low in India. According to data compiled by the World Bank, the number of working women in India dropped from 24% to 18% between 2010 and 2020. Similarly, the India Discrimination Report 2022 released by Oxfam India states that women in India, despite possessing the same educational qualifications and work experience as men, will be discriminated against due to societal and employers' prejudices. Likewise, though India tops the world in producing female graduates in STEM, it ranks 19th in employing them. These numbers remain true across other fields as well. The wide gap between the number of women graduating every year and those entering the workspace is an issue of paramount importance that needs to be addressed. This article aims to critically analyse this challenge while looking at a possible way forward. India's present gender gap in terms of literacy is more than twice the 2016 global average and even higher than that for lower-middle-income countries. According to the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data, in 2017-18, a total of 186 million women in India cannot even write a simple sentence in any language. This statistic is a call for attention, showcasing that India is far from achieving the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-'inclusive and equitable quality education' and 'lifelong learning opportunities for all'-by 2030.
