The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), Government of India, has released the 27th edition of its publication “Women and Men in India 2025: Selected Indicators and Data” at the National Deliberative Summit on “Data for Development” in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Drawing on inputs from various Ministries, Departments and organisations, the publication presents gender-disaggregated data across population, education, health, economic participation, decision-making and violence against women, along with metadata for 50 key indicators to aid clarity and interpretation.
This article walks through the key highlights of the report — including an improving sex ratio at birth, a sustained decline in infant mortality, gender parity in school education, rising Gross Enrolment Ratio at Higher Education, a sharp increase in rural female labour force participation, and strong growth in women holding managerial positions. Whether you follow gender policy, social development, education, labour economics or official statistics, this guide offers a clear summary of what the 2025 edition reveals about India’s evolving gender landscape.
