The gender concerns have started gaining attention of economists, demographers and policy makers world-wide since 1970s. The Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women since 1990s. (CEDAW) in 1979 made people more aware of the gender issues. World conferences on women have also been focusing on different aspects related to advancement of women. The World Development Report(1990) showed that women are solely disadvantaged compared to men and face all manners of cultural, social, legal and economic obstacles that men do not face.
