In connection with the preparation of Gender Action 
Plan  and  gender  Budgeting,  Government  entrusted  the 
Department of Economics and Statistics to prepare a report 
on âGender Statistics in Keralaâ, during the year 2014 -2015.  
Thereupon  DES  collects  sex -disaggregated  statistics  from 
various  departments/agencies  and  prepares  the  report  on 
âGender  Statistics  in  Keralaâ,  with  the  financial  support  of 
the  Government .   
This  report  is  the  fourth of  its  kind,  providing  key 
gender  stat istics  sourced  from  the  administrative  records  
of  State  and  Central  Government  Departments, Reports  of 
various  surveys/ Census etc.   It  provides  relevant  statistical 
information  on  the  status  of  women  and  men  in  Kerala, 
highlighting  the  current  situation  and  changes  over  time.  
The present report  provides the updated sex -disaggregated 
da ta  in  seven  sectors:  Population,  Education,  Health , 
Participation  in  Economy,  Crime  against Women  and 
Participation in Decision  Making.  
I  convey  my  gratitude  to  all  Departments  for 
supplying  their  administrative  data  to  DES  within  the  time 
schedule.    Without  their  active  support  and  cooperation 
Preparation and publication of this report is not possible .   
I  hope  this  report  will  be  useful  for  the  State 
Government,  non -governmental  organizations  and  others 
concerned with the formulation and implementation of the 
plans  and  policies  oriented  towards achieving  gender 
equality.   We  look  forward  for  suggestions  and  feedback 
for  improvement  in  the  content  and  quality  of  this 
publication.

Literacy & Education  
ï· During  2016 -17,  at  the  elementary  level,  girls (95.65)  tend  to  perform  better  than  boys  (95.25) 
in  school  enrolment  and  at  the  secondary  level;  girlâs  enrolment  (101.74)  is  lesser  than  that  of 
boys (102.83).  
ï·  The  Gender  Parity  Index  based  on  Gross  Enrolment  Ratio  during  2016 -2017,  in  primary 
education was 1 for Kerala and 1.05 at the national level.  But at the secondary level, GPI was 
less than 1 (0.99) in Kerala.

India.  
ï·  Kerala have reached near equality in youth literacy during 1991 to 2001 (youth literacy for male 
â 99.04, female  â 99.03).

Health Statistics
 	
ï· As per the reports of Sample Registration System, in Life Expec tancy at birth, Kerala stood first 
among the states of India with 72.2 and 77.9 years for males and females respectively.  This is 
very much higher than that of Indiaâs life expectancy at birth for male and female (67.4 and 70.2 
respectively).  
ï·  The gap betw een the life expectancy of male and female in Kerala has been growing in favour 
of  females from 2.5 years in 1970 -75 to 5.7 years in 2012 -16.  
ï·  As  per  the  statistics  released  by  Registrar  General  of  India,  Kerala  has  the  lowest  infant 
mortality rate in the country.  Keralaâs infant mortality rate was 9 deaths per 1, 000 live births for 
boys and 11 deaths per 1000 live  births for girls, against to the National average of 33 and 36 
for boys and girls respectively  
ï·  As per the Civil Registration System data, in 2 016, a total of 26 women died during pregnancy, 
or  the  first  42  days  after  delivery  (or  termination  of  pregnancy)  due  to  causes  related  to 
pregnancy or childbirth.  
ï·  The male death rate in Kerala declined from 8.3 in 2011 to 6.7 in 2015 and then it rose to 8 .5 in 
2016.  The  female  death  rate  also  showed  a  similar  trend,  it  rose  from  5.8  in  2011  to  6.7  in 
2016.  
ï·  The  female  still  birth  rate  in  Kerala  fell  from  4.72  to  4.09  during  the  period  from  2011  to  2016, 
whereas, stillbirth in males remained relatively the s ame over the years 
Participation in Economy  
ï· Out of the total population in Kerala, during 2011 -12, about 57 percent men were economically 
active  or  part  of  labour  force  whereas  the  percent  of  economically  active  women  population 
was  only  25  percent.  And  ar ound  75  percent  of  the  women  population  is  considered  as 
economically in -active.  
ï·  The  gender  gap  in  LFPR,  both  in  rural  and  urban  areas  is  showing  a  continuous  increasing 
trend, not only in Kerala but also throughout the country. It rose from 304 percent in  1993 -94  
ï·  to 325 percent in 2011 -12 in rural Kerala, while the gender gap for urban Kerala increased  from 
309 per cent to 345 per cent over the same period.  
ï·  According to various rounds of NSSO surveys on employment and unemployment, Kerala has 
the  highest  female  unemployment  rates  in  the  country.  The  latest  NSSO  data  for  2011 -12 
indicates  that  the  overall  unemployment  rate  in  Kerala  is  6.7,  with  a  wide  gender  gap  of  14.1 
percent for women and 2.9 percent for men.

ï· 
The  rural  and  urban  divide  in  unemployment  r ates  for  females  in  Kerala  is  narrow  unlike  at 
theall -India  level.  At  the  national  level,  the  unemployment  rate  for  females  were  often  double 
those  in  urban  areas.  This  clearly  indicates  that,  while  gender  bias  is  more  pronounced  in  the 
case of Kerala, it  is the spatial bias that is more pronounced at the all India level.  
ï·  In Kerala, men casual labors are paid almost double (Rural - 345.14 and Urban  â 335.76) than 
their female counterpart (Rural - 169.61 and Urban  â 167.56). At  the National level this gender 
g ap is not so significant.  
ï·  More than one  â third of women workers (38 percent) in Kerala are in tertiary sector.  
ï·  Both  in  Kerala  and  National  level,  females  outnumbered  males  in  primary  sector.  The 
percentage  of  female  workers  in  primary  sector  was  around  32  percent  in  Kerala  and  63 
percent in India. The corresponding proportion of male was 23 and 44 respectively.  
ï·  While  the  primary  sector  still  remains  the  largest  source  of  employment  for  both  men  (59 
percent)  and  women  (75  percent)  in  rural  India,  in  Kerala  not  even  half  the  rural  work  force  is 
employed in the primary sector (male  â 28 percent, female  â 39 percent) .  
Womenâs Participation in Decision Making 	
ï·  Representation  of  women  in  legislature  and  political  movement  is  extremely  low  in  Kerala  in 
comparison  to  their  numerical  strength.  In  the  general  election  to  Kerala  legislative  assembly 
2016, there were only 2 women ministers in the council of ministers.  
ï·  Out  of  one  hundred  and  forty  seats  in  the  Kerala  Legislative  Assembly,  110  women  contested 
in the elect ion and only eight were elected, this was around 5.71% of the total seats.  
ï·  The political participation of women in terms of voting in election is not disappointing  compared 
to their representation in legislative assembly.  Polling percentage of women rose  from 74.08 %  
in 1967 to 78.14%  in 2016.  
Crime Against Women  
ï· As per the latest National Family Health Survey results, among ever -married women age 15 -49 
in  Kerala,  13  percent  have  ever  experienced  physical  violence  and  5  percent  have  ever 
experienced sexual  violence.  
ï·  In  Kerala,  overall,  14  percent  of  ever -married  women  experienced  physical  or  sexual  violence 
from their husbands ever in their lifetime.  
ï·  Between  2012  and  2016,  the  number  of  âRape  cases'  has  increased  from  1019  to  1656  in 
Kerala and from 24923 t o 38947 in all-India

ï· 
During the  year 2016, a total of 3455 cases of cruelty by husband/relatives reported in Kerala 
and 110378 cases reported in all -India  
ï·  The crime rate trends over the past five years show that the crime rate of Kerala is much  
ï·  higher tha n the national level  
ï·  The rate of rape cases in Kerala remained steady at a level significantly higher than for India as 
a  whole.  Whereas  the  rates  of  âDowry  Deathsâ  and  âKidnapping  &  Abductionâ  in  Kerala 
remained steady at a level significantly lower than  for India as a whole. 
ï·  In Kerala, on an average 16 male and 5 female suicides took place every day during the year 
2015.  
ï·  The incidence of suicide is higher for men, both at State and National level.  The suicide rate 
among males is nearly two times higher t han among females.

Introduction 
In  connection  with  the  preparation  of 
Gender  Action  Plan  and  gender  Budgeting, 
Government  entrusted  the  Department  of 
Economics  and  Statistics  to  prepare  a  report 
on  âGender  Statistics  in  Keralaâ , during  the 
year  2014 -2015.  Thereupon  DES  collects  sex -
disaggregated  statistics  from  various 
departments/agencies  and  prepares  t he 
report  on  âGender  Statistics  in  Keralaâ , with 
the  financial  support  of  the  Social  Justice 
Department.  This  report  provides  sex -
disaggregated  statistics  which  will  facilitate 
the  assessment  of  gender  gaps  in  various 
aspects  of  development.  This  chapter  i s 
divided  into  five  sections  including  the 
present introductory section.  
1.2  Gender Budget  
Kerala  initiated  the  gender 
budgeting  process  at  the  local 
government  level  as  far  back  in  1998 
and  mandated  the  local  bodies  to 
allocate at least 10% of the plan funds 
devolved  by  the  state  specifically  for 
women  through  Women  Component 
Plan.  The  state  budget  started  to 
reflect  the  gender  budgeting  process 
only  from  2008 -09  onwards.  The  foremost 
objective of Gender Budgeting is to encourage 
all  Departments  in  the  Government  to 
become  more  gender  aware  and  scrutinize 
their  budgets  from  a  gender  perspective. 
Gender  Budget  is  not  a  separate  budget  for 
women;  it  provides  a  methodology  for 
integrating  a  gender  perspective  into  the 
Budget  and  seeks  to  break  down  the  usual 
Budget  across  schemes  and programmes. 
There  are  two  parts  in  the  Gender  Budget: 
Part  A  includes  schemes  benefitting  90 -100 
percent  women  schemes  and  Part  B  includes 
all  other  schemes  in  which  womenâs  share  is 
specified or identifiable.   Total outlay earmarked for women on 
the  last  three  Annual  Plans  is  given  in  the 
Table  1.2.1.  It  can  be  seen 
from  Table1.2.1  that  there  has  been 
significant  increase  in  the  allocation  for 
women  in  the  total  budget.  The  total  outlay 
earmarked  for  women  accounted  for  only 
11.4%  of  the  total  State  budget  outlay  in 
201 7-1 8 ,  which  increased  to  14.6  %  in  2018 -
1 9 and  then  to  16.9%  in  2019 -20 .  During  th e 
year  2018 -19 , Rs.1267.28  crs  have  been 
provided  for  women  specific  schemes  and  an 
amount  of  Rs.1973.05  crs  for  women  in 
composite  schemes.  Including  both  Parts  A 
and  B  the  total  outlay  earmarked  for  women 
accounted  a  total  of  Rs  3240.33  crs , which  is 
14. 6  percent  of  State  Plan  outlay  of  Rs.22150 
crs (excluding local bodies).   
 
1.3  Sustainable Development Goal: Goal 5  
On  25  September  2015 , the  United 
Nations  General  Assembly  adopted  the  2030 
Agenda  for  Sustainable  Development  as  the 
agreed  framework  for  international 
development.  It  is  the  successor  to  the 
Millennium  Development  Goals  (MDGs).  The 
Agenda,  unlike  the  MDGs , has  a  stand -alone 
Goal  on  gender  equality  and  the 
empowerment  of  women  and  girls.  Womenâs 
equality  and  empowerment  is  one  of  the  17 
Sust ainable  Development  Goals  (SDG) .  The 
Goal 5 of SDG aims to achieve gender equality 
and empower all women and girls.  To achieve 
Goal 5 , there are six targets namely:

o   End  all  forms  of  discrimination  against  all 	
women and girls everywhere.  	
o  Eliminate  all  forms  of  violence  against  all 	
women  and  girls  in  the  public  and  private 
spheres , including  trafficking  and  sexual 
and other types of exploitation.  	
o  Eliminate  all  harmful  practices , such  as 	
child , early  and  forced  marriage  and 
female genital mutilation  	
o  Recognize  and  value  unpaid  care  and 	
domestic  work  through  the  provision  of 
public  services , infrastructure  and  social 
protection  policies  and  the  promotion  of 
shared responsibility within the household 
and the family as nationally appropriate  	
o  Ensure  womenâs  full  and  effective 	
participation  and  equal  opportunities  for 
leadership  at  all  levels  of  decision  making 
in political , economic and public life  	
o  Ensure  universal  access  to  sexual  and 	
reproductive  health  and  reproductive 
rights  as  agreed  in  accordance 
with  the  Prog ramme  of  Action  of 
the  International  Conference  on 
Population  and  Development  and 
the Beijing Platform for Action and 
the  outcome  documents  of  their 
review conferences  
To  measure  India  and  its 
Statesâ  progress  towards  the  SDG  for 
2030 , NITI  Aayog  developed  a 
composite  SDG  India  Index  and 
prepared  the  baseline  report  âThe 
SDG  India  Index:  Baseline  Report 
2018â.  The  SDG  India  Index  was  used 
to  rank  the  States/UTs  according  to 
their  progress  on  a  set  of  62  national 
indicators , measuring  their 
achievements  on  several  SDG  targets.  
A  composite  score  was  computed  for 
each  State  and  UT  of  India  based  on 
their aggregate performance across 13 
of  the  17  SDGs.  The  score  ranges 
between 0 and 100. If a State achieves 
a  score  of  100 , it  signifies  that  the 
state  has  achiev ed  the  national  target 
set  for  2030.  The  SDG  India  Index  tells  us  where  a  State/UT  currently  stands  on  each 
of the indicators considered.
  
As  per  the  report , Kerala  and 
Himachal  Pradesh  are  the  front  runners 
among  the  states  with  an  SDG  India  Index 
score  o f  69. Keralaâs  top  rank  is  attributed  to 
its  superior  performance  in  providing  good 
health , reducing  hunger , achieving  gender 
equality and providing quality education.   
The  SDG  Index  Score  for  the  Goal  of 
Gender Equality i.e. Goal 5 is presented in the 
Chart  1.3.1.  It  is  clear  from  the  chart  that , 
Kerala and Sikkim are the only states achieved 
an  Index  Score  above  50.  Bihar  is  the  least 
performing state with Index  24.  Twelve states 
scored  index  between  40  to  49  and  twelve 
states between 31 to 39.

To  measur
e  Indiaâs  performance 
towards  gender  equality , six  national  level 
indicators  have  been  identified.  These 
indicators  have  been  selected  based  on 
availability of data at the national level and to 
ensure  comparability  across  states.  The  Table 
1.3.1  presents  t he  national  target  value  for 
these  indicators  for  2030  and  performance  of 
Kerala  in  these  indicators.  For  the  indicator 
Sex  Ratio  at  Birth  Kerala  (959)  and 
Chhattisgarh  (963)  performed  above  the 
National Targeted Value (954).  Average wages 
and salaries of  females is 72 percent of that of 
males  for  regular  wage  and  salaried 
employees  in  the  age  group  15 -59  in  Kerala. 
The  national  goal  is  to  achieve  equal  pay  for 
men  and  women.  In  Kerala  around  16.3 
percentage  married  women  (aged  15  â  49 
years)  experienced  sp ousal  violence. To 
achieve  the  SDG  Kerala  has  to  reduce  this 
percentage  from  16.3  to  0  by  2030.  8.7  percent  of  seats  in  the  State  Legislative 
Assemblies  are  held  by  women.  The  national 
target is to have 50 percent of the seats to  be 
held  by  men  and  women  e
ach.  No  State/UT 
has  achieved  this  target  yet.  Labour  force 
participation  rate  of  women 
in  Kerala  is  only  43  percent 
of  the  labour  force 
participation  rate  of  men. 
The  nation al  target  for  2030 
is to  
have  equal  labour  force 
participation  rate  for  both 
women  and  men.  Almost 
half  (53.1%)  of  currently  
married  women  aged 
between  15 -49  years  in 
Kerala  are  using  modern 
methods of family planning.  
1.4 Major Challenges in 
the Preparation of this 
Report  
From 2015 onwards, 
DES  publishes  the  report  on 
Gender  Statistics  based  on 
the  statistics  provided  by  various 
departments/agencies.  A 
major  challenge  in  the  preparation  of  this 
report is  the lack of precise sex -disaggregated 
data.  Availability  and  timeliness  of  data  is 
another  major  source  of  difficulty.  Much  of 
the  data  required  for  the  preparation  of  this 
rep ort came from sources external to DES and 
are  often  received  very  late.  Hence , data 
sharing  links  between  producers  of  statistics 
in  various  fields  and  DES  is  to  be 
strengthened.  There is in some cases a lack of 
recognition  and  knowledge  about  gender 
stati stics  on  the  part  of  the  officers  in  charge, 
and  also  lack  of  willingness  to  support.  
Another  main  issue  is  the  non-availability  of

1.5 Contents of the Report	
 
This  report  presents  statistics  and 
analysis  on  the  status  of  women  and  men  in 
Kerala,  highlighting  the  current  situation  and 
changes  over  time.  Analysis  is  based  mainly 
on  available  statistics  from  various 
departments/agencies.  This  report  comprises 
eight  chapters  including  the  present 
introductory chapter , covering critical areas of 
policy  concern;  population , education , health ,  participation  in  economy
, decision -making , 
crime  and  women  and  child  oriented 
schemes.  Discussions  are  mainly  centred  on 
the  Kerala  state  level  indicators  and  a n 
attempt  is  made  to  compare  the  results  with 
national level by utilizing selected information 
from various National sources. Detailed tables 
of  the  topics  discussed  in  this  report  are 
arranged  in  tables  and  are  presented  in 
Appendix (A1 to A8).  All the re sults presented 
are based on secondary data.

.1 Introduction  	
Gender composition of the population 	
is  one  of  the  primary  demographic 
characteristics  of  human  population.  Among 
the States of India, population  size of Kerala is 
2.76 % of  the  Total  population of  the country. 
According  to  2011  Census  the  population  of 
th e  State  3.34  Crore, of  which  the  respective 
count of male and female population are 1.60 
Crores  and  1.74  Crores  .Women  population 
constitute  52.02  percent  of  the  Total  
population  in  the  State  and  the  female 
population  outnumbered  by  13  lakhs  over 
male popu lation.  	
As per 2011 Census report Population 	
growth  rate  in  the  state  is  declining  due  to 
increasing  mean  age  at  marriage, family 
planning  acceptance  and  fertility  control, 
decline  in  mortality  and  population  mobility. 
With Kerala registering the lowest g rowth rate 
of  population  in  the  last decade, the State  is 
all  set  to  reach  "zero  population  growth"  in 
the  coming  decades.  The  decadal  growth  rate 
of  the  State  is  about  4.90  %.In  terms  of 
population  density, Kerala  with  860  persons 
per  sq.  km. , is nearly  two  and  a  half  times 
more than that of the national average of 382 
per Sq km.  	
The  population  characteristics  of  the 	
State  are  unique  and  almost  half  of  the  Total  
population  of  Kerala  is  residing  in  urban  area. 
1, 5 9, 3 4, 926  of the  Total  population  are from 
urban  areas  and  rural  population  constitutes 
1 , 74 , 71 , 135  persons. Sex ratio in the State is 
also  enco uraging  and  positive  indicator  of 
gender  equality  .Sex  ratio  in  Kerala  maintains  
to be  Woman  friendly  and  it  is  the  only  State 
in  the  country  where  this  excess  has  grown 
consistently  during  the  last  couple  of  decades 	
.The  sex  ratio  for  Kerala  is  1084  against 
national  figure  of  940.  Kerala  is  the  only 
Indian  State  where  the  sex  ratio  has 
historically  been  above  the  national  trend. 
Another significant feature of the State is that 
all districts in Kerala show similar and positive 
sex  ratio.  The  reasons  for  highest  sex  ratio  in 
Kerala  are  better  health, high  literacy  rate 
among women and better standard of  living. 	
The proportion of  child population ( 0-	
14  yrs. ) to the  Total  population is about 23.44 
percent  in  Kerala  in  which  girl  child  is  almost 
48.91%.  Kerala  seems  to  be  aging  fast  with 
people  who  have  above  60  years  forming 
12.65 percent of the  Total  population and the 
percentage  of  Female  populatio n  in  60  plus 
age group is about 55.04 %

3.1  Introductions  	
Education  is  a  core  human  right  and 
plays  vital  role  in  eliminating  social 
inequalities,  especially the  gender 
inequalities.  Kerala  achieved  substantial 
achievement  in  education  over  the  past  few 
years.  This  chapter  presents  progress  in  the 
education  of  girls  and  boys  in  participation  in 
education.  Data  and  indicators  presented  in 	
this  chapter  are  based  on  the  Unified District 
Information  System  for  Education  (U -DISE ) 
data , results  published by  National  Institute of 
Educational  Planning  and  Administration  
( N IEPA ),  results  of  National  Achievement 
Surve y  published  by  Ministry  of  Human 
Resource  Development  (MHRD) , details 
provided  by  The  Department  of  Public 
Instruction , Govt  of  Kerala  and  the  2011  
Census results.   3
.2 Participation in education  	
Over  the period, the  gender  gap  in 
participation  of  education  has  narrowed  and 
during 2016 -17 , in  Kerala,  girls (95.65) tend to 
perform  better  than  boys  (95.25)  at  the 
elementary  level.  But  at  the  secondary  level, 
during  2016 -17 , girlâs  enrolment  (101.74)  is 
lesser  th an  that  of  boys  (102.83) .  Whereas  at 
the  national  level  for  secondary , during  2016 -
17 , enrolment  for  girls  (80.29)  has  exceeded 
that of boys (78.51).  
3 .3 Gender Parity Index in Education  
Gender Parity  Index  (GPI)  is 
commonly  used  to  measure  progress  towards 
gender  parity  in  education.  For  a  given 
indicator , the  GPI  is  calculated  as  the  ratio  of 
value for female to that for males . A GPI value 
equal  to  one  indicates  parity.  This  signifies 
that  there  is  no  difference  in  the  indicator  for 
female  and  males.  The  GPI  based  on  G ross 
E nrolment  Ratio  (GER)  during  2016 -20 17 , in 
primary  education  was  1  for  Kerala  and  1.05 
at  the  national  level.  These  imply  that, boys

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  16  
and  girls  are  equally  likely  to  partic
ipate  in 
primary education.  But at the secondary  level, 
in  Kerala,  during 2016 -17 , GPI  was  less  than  1 
(0. 99)  (Chart  3.3.1)  
3 .4  Learning  achievement  of  girls  and 
boys  	
Improvement of student performance 
and  achievement  of  learning  outcomes  is  one 
of  the  primary  goals  of  any  educational 
system.  To monitor improvement in childrenâs 
learning  levels  and  to  periodically  assess  the 
effectiveness  of  the  education  system  as 
whole  in  terms  of  student  learning, the  
National  Council  of  Educational  Research  and 
Train ing  (NCERT)  has  been  periodically 
conducting  National  Achievement 
Surveys  (NAS)  since  2001  for 
Classes  III , V  and  VIII.  The  purpose 
of  these  surveys  is  to  obtain  an 
overall  picture  of  what  students  in 
specific  Classes  know  and  can  do 
and  to  use  these  findi ngs  to 
identify  gaps  and  diagnose  areas 
that need improvement.   
Gender  difference  in 
educational  outcomes  has  been 
discussed  based  on  the  Average 
Achievement  Scores  of  the  latest 
National  Achievement  Survey.  An 
overview  of  gender  pattern  in 
educational  at tainment  based  on 
NAS  2017 -18  has  been  shown  in 
Chart  3.4 .1. , Chart  3.4 .2  &  Chart 
3 .4 .3.  The  results  reflected  a  trend 
that , in  Kerala  girls  outperformed 
boys  in  National  level  achievement 
test  across  the  school  levels.  
Results  of  Class  3 showed  that, in  
Kerala  girlâs outperformed  boys  in  every  test subjects  i.e.  Environmental 
Science, Language  
and  Mathematics.  Whereas  at  the  national 
level , there  was  no  significant  difference 
between  scores  of  boys  and  girls  in  the 
p erformance  of mathematics  and  girls  did  
slightly  better  in  language  and  environmental 
studies.   
NAS  Class  5  results  for  the 
performance  in  language  showed that  in 
Kerala,  girls outperformed  boys  with  a  gap  of 
4  points  to  the  advantage  of  girls.  At  the 
national  level  the  average  achievement  scor e 
was  58  for  boys  versus  59  for  girls  (a  1 -point 
gap).  In  Kerala , the performance  in 
mathematics  and environmental Science were  
also  characterized  by  gender  differences,

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  17  
which
 tended to be smaller than those related 
to  Language.  The  score  for  Environmental  
Science  was  65  point  for  boys  and  66  points 
for  girls  (a  gender  gap  of  1 -point).  Similarly , 
the  score  of  Mathematics  showed  a  gap  of  1 
point advantage to girls (boys  â 63 , girls  â 64).  
There  was  no  gender  gap  in  the  scores  for 
Environmental  Science  and  Ma thematics  at 
the National level.   
When we compare the results of  Class 
8 ,  we  could  see  that, there  is  no  significant 
difference  between  scores  of  boys  and  girls 
except for Language.  Performance in language 
for Class 3 , Class 5 & Class 8  showed that both 
at  the  State  and  National  Levels, girls  have 
superior  language  abilities  to  boys.  In 
Language,  girls in  Kerala  outperformed  boys 
with  a  gap  of  5  points  to  the  advantage  of 
girls.  At  the  national  level  the  average 
achievement  score  was  56  for  boy s  versus  57 
for girls (a 1 -point gap).   
3 .5  Literacy  	
Even  though  Kerala  achieved 
outstanding  developments  in  education, our  
female  literacy  rate  is  less  than  male  literacy 
rate  for  all  the  census  years.  A  positive  factor  is that  the gender gap in literacy 
in Kerala has 
been  declining  at  a  higher  rate  when 
compared  to  India.  Chart  3.5 .1  shows  the 
Kerala  and  National  Level, male  literacy  rate, 
female  literacy rate and gender gap in literacy 
rate in the year of  1901 to 2011.   
In  the  year  of  1901  Kerala  has  th e 
total  literacy  rate  of  11.14  percent  whereas 
male  literacy  was  19.15  percent  and  female  
literacy  was  only  3.15  percent  with  the  gap 
between  two  genders  is  16  percent.  The 
gender  gap  in  literacy  reached  the  peak  level 
of  19.89  percent  during  the  year  1931  then 
declined  steadily  and  reached  at  4.4  percent 
during the year 2011. At the National level the 
gap  was  6.23  per  cent  in  1901  and  it  reached 
the  peak  level  of  24.84  percent  during  the 
year 1991 then declined and reached at 16.68 
percent  during  the  year  2011. Thus , during  
the  year  2011 , male  literacy  rate  at  the 
National level crossed over 80  percent for the 
first  time  and  reached  at  82.1  percent.  
Another  notable  thing  is  the  sharp  rise  in  the 
literacy  of  females  over  males, during  the 
period  2001 -2011  th e  percentage  increase  in 
literacy rate has been higher for females (11.3 
percentage  points)  than  that  for  males  (6.29

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  18  
percentage points).
 
Chart  3.5.3 gives the male and female 
literacy  rate  for  Youth  (age  group  15 -24) 
population  in  Kerala  and  at  the  Nati onal  level 
during  1991  â  2001.  Kerala  had  achieved 
outstanding  development  in  reducing  gender 
disparity  in  youth  literacy.  Chart  3.5.3 
indicates the declining trends of gender gap in 
youth literacy of India & Kerala.  It is clear from 
the  chart  that  Kerala  have reached  near  
equality in youth literacy during 1991 to 2001.  
At  the  National  level, youth  literacy  rate  have 
shown  considerable  improvement  during  the 
period 1991 to  2011.  The gender gap in youth 
literacy  rate  at  the  National  level  reduced  from  24.16 
percent  in  1991  to  8.19 
percent  in 2011.  
3 .6  Summary of findings  	
The data  on  educational 
statistics  have  been  collected  from 
various  government  departments 
like  Directorate  of  Public  Instruction, 
Directorate  of  Technical  Education 
and  Directorate  of Collegiate 
Education . The  indicators  provided 
by  these  departments  are  arranged 
in  tables  and  presented  in  Appendix 
(Table  2.1  to  Table  2.57).  An 
overview  of  these  results  are 
presented below  
ï·   The total  number  of  literates 
in  Kerala  as  per  censu s  2011  is 
2 ,81 ,35 ,824  with  1 ,37 ,04 ,903  are 
Males  and  1 ,44 ,30 ,921  are  females. 
It  is  well  established  that  female 
literacy  has  significantly  positive 
outcomes  for  the  immediate  family 
and  nation  as  a  whole.  High  female 
literacy  is  generally  associated  with 
positive  health  and  education  outcomes

4.1 Introduction  	
Kerala has long been known for better 
health  outcomes  in  a  number  of  areas 
compared  to  most  states  in  India.  The  state 
has succeeded in increasing life  expectancy as 
well  as  reducing  infant  and  maternal 
mortalities.  This  chapter  focuses on the 
gender  disparities  in  different  health 
indicators , viz  life  expectancy , infant  and 
maternal  mortality  rates, death  rate  and 
stillbirth  rate.  To  facilitate  a  comparison, 
National  scenario have also been discussed   
4 .2 Life expectancy at birth  
Life expectancy at birth is an indicator 
of  the  overall  health  status  of  a  population.  It 
is  derived  from  age -specific  mortality  rates 
and  denotes  the  average  number  of  years  a 
newborn  child  can  expect  to  live  given  the 
current  levels  of  mortality.  In  India,  life 
expectancy  at  various  broad  age  groups  has 
been  estimated  through  Sample  Registration 
System  (SRS)  since  1970 -75.  This  section 
covers  the  gender  disparities  in  life 
expe ctancy at birth.   
As  like  in  many  health  indicators,  in 
the  case  of  Life Expectancy  at  birth, Kerala  stood  first  among  the 
states of  India.  Chart 
4 .2.1  shows  the  values  of  the  expectancy  of 
life at birth for Kerala and India by sex for  the 
periods  1970 -75  to  2012 -16.  Keralaâs  life 
expectancy  at  birth  in  2012 -16  was  72.2  and 
77.9 years for males and females respectively.  
This  is very  much  higher  than  that  of Indiaâs 
life  expectancy  at  birth  for  male  and  female 
(67.4  and  70.2  respectively).  Also  the  gap 
betwe en  the  life  expectancy  of  male  and 
female in Kerala has been growing in  favour  of 
females from 2.5 years in 1970 -75 to 5.7 years 
in  2012 -16.  Furthermore , life  expectancy  at 
birth of Kerala women is greater than those of 
males throughout the period.   
4 .3  Infant Mortality Rate  	
There  has  been  a  considerable 
reduction  in  infant mortality  over  the  past 
decade,  but  inequalities  in  the  mortality  rate 
persist.  As  per  the  statistics  released  by 
Registrar  General  of  India, Kerala has  the 
lowest  infant  mortality  rat e  in  the  country. 
However , the  gender  divide  continue s in 
Kerala  too  as  in  most  States.  Keralaâs infant 
mortality  rate  was  9  deaths  per  1 , 000  live 
births  for  boys  and  11  deaths  per  1000  live

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  24  
births for 
girls, against  to the National average 
of 33 and 36 for boy s and girl s respectively.   
The  Chart  4.3.1  gives  the  infant 
mortality  rate  for  boys  and  girls  at  the 
National  and  State  level  for  the  last  seven 
years.  The  chart  shows  that  over  the  seven 
year  period , Keralaâs  infant  mortality  rate  has 
fallen from 13 to 9 for boys and from 14 to 11 
for  girls.  Similarly  Indiaâs  infant  mortality  rate 
decreased from 46 to 33 for boys and 49 to 36 
for girls.   
4 .4 Maternal Mortality Ratio  	
As  per  the  Civil  Registration  System 
data , in  2016 , a  total  of 26 women died during  pregnancy
, or  the  first  42  days  after  delivery 
(or  termination  of  pregnancy)  due  to  causes 
related  to  pregnancy  or  childbirth.  Maternal 
Mortality  Ratio  (MMR)  is  defined  as  the 
number  of  maternal  deaths  per  one  lakh live 
births.  Chart  4.4.1  gives  the  maternal 
mortality  rate  of  Kerala  over  the  past  six 
years.  It  is  clear  from  the  chart  that  MMR 
shows  extreme  variations  over  the  years.  
During  2011  MMR  was  18  and  it  increased  to 
20  during  2012  and  reached  36  in  2013.  The n 
it  reduced  to  28  in  2014  and  further  it  dipped 
to 17 in 2015.  There has been an increase of 9 
percentage points in 2016 (26) over 2015(17).  
However  Keralaâs  present  MMR  is  below  the  Sustainable  Development 
Goal target of MMR below 
70. 
4 .5 Crude Death  Rate 	
Crude  death  rate 
(CDR) , which  is  the  most 
common  measure  of 
mortality , is  given in Chart 
4 .5.1.  The  table  shows 
that the female death rate 
is  lower  than  male  death

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  25  
rate  both  at  Kerala  and  National  level.
 In 
general , men  have a significantly higher ris k of 
death than women both at State and National 
level.  The  male  death  rate  in  Kerala  declined 
from  8.3  in  2011  to  6.7  in  2015  and  then  it 
rose  to  8.5  in  2016.  The  female  death  rate 
also showed a similar  trend, it  rose from 5.8 in 
2011  to  6.7  in  2016.  But  at  the  National  level 
CDR  showed  a  declining  trend  for  both  men 
and  women.  For  men  at  National  level  CDR 
declined  from  7.8  in  2011  to  6.8  in  2016.  The 
CDR  for  women  at  National  level  declined 
from about 6.3 in 2011 to about 5.9 in 2016.  
4 .6 Still Birth Ra te 	
The  Still  Birth  Rate  is  the  number of 
still  births  per  thousand live  births  and  Stillbirth  during  the  year
.  The  sex  specific 
stillbirth  rate  of  Kerala  for  the  years  2011  to 
2016 , based  on  the  Civil  Registration  Data  is 
presented  in  Chart  4.6.1.  It  is  clear  from  the 
chart  that  the  Stillbirth  Rates  are  higher  for 
male  than  for  female  births.  This  shows  the 
fact  that  male  babies  are  more  likely  to  be 
stillborn  than  females.  The  female  still  birth 
rate in Kerala fell from 4.72 to 4.09 during the 
period  fro m  2011  to  2016 , whereas,  stillbirth 
in  males  remained  relatively  the  same  over 
the years.   
4 .7 Summary of findings

sensitive  data  provided  by  various 
departments  and  agencies  of  State

.1 Introduction  	
Even  though  women  in  Kerala 
achieved  high  levels  in  education, there  are 
still  important  spheres  in  which  womenâs 
equality  has  not  been  achieved  and  in  which 
discrimination  persists.  Economic 
Participation  in  such  areas  was gender 
disparities  are  more  pronounced.  
Participation  of  women  in  labour  markets  is 
low  in  Kerala  an d  the  rates  of  unemployment 
are  high.  Data  on  economic  inequalities 
between men and women is presented in this 
chapter.  To  facilitate  a  comparison, National  
scenario  has  also  been  discussed.  Moreover , 
an  overview  of  gender -sensitive  data  on 
economic  partic ipation  provided  by  various 
departments  and  agencies  of  State 
Government has also been included.   
5 .2 Labour Force Participation Rate  
Labour  Force  Participation  rate  (LFPR) 
is  the  ratio  of  labour  force  (which  includes 
both  the  employed  and  unemployed  but 
seeking work) to the  total population. It 
is  therefore,  a  key  indicator  of  the 
magnitude  of  economically  active 
population.  The  LFPR  for  men  and 
women  in  Kerala  and  India  for  the 
period 1993 -94 to 2011 -12 is presented 
in  chart  5.2.1.  This  chart  provides  an  
insight  into  the  disparities  between 
men  and  women  in  participation  of 
economy.   
The  chart  5.2.1  indicates  that 
male  labour  force  dominates  over  the 
female  labour  force  both  at  National 
and  state  levels.  For  instance,  the LFPR 
for  men  and  women  during  the  period 
2011 -12  in  Kerala  was  579  and  248  respectively.
 This  means  that  out  of  the  total 
population  in  Kerala, during 2011 -12 , about  
57  percent  men  were  economically  active  or 
part  of  labour  force  whereas  the  percent  of 
economically  active  women  population  was 
only 25 percent.  And around 75 percent of the 
women  population  is  considered  as 
economically  in -active.  Both  in  all  India  and 
Kerala,  the rural female LFPR has been almost 
half of the rural male LFPR , while in the urban 
areas the female LFPR is even l ess than half of 
the male LFPR  .  
It  is  clear  from  the  chart 5.2.1  that 
both for in Rural and Urban areas relative gap 
exist  between  men  and  women  in 
participation  of  economic  activity.  And  also 
we  can  see  that  the  gender  gap  in  Rural  and 
Urban  areas  varie s  considerably. The  gender 
gap  in  LFPR  is  presented  in  Chart 5.2.2.  The 
gender  gap  in  LFPR  for  Rural  area  was  higher 
in  Kerala  compared  to  that  of  all  India.  
Whereas,  a reverse  trend  (gender  gap  higher 
at  the  all  India  level  compared  to  Kerala)  is

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  30  
observed  at  the  urban  level.  Also  the  gender 
gap  in  LFPR , both  in  rural  and  urban  areas  is 
showing  a  continuous  increasing  trend , not 
only  in  Kerala  but  also  throughout  the 
country.  It  rose  from  304  percent  in  1993 -94 
to  325  percent  in  2011 -12  in 
rural  Kerala,  while  the  gender 
gap  for  urban  Kerala increased 
from  309  per  cent  to  345  per 
cent over the same period.  
5 .3  Unemployment Rate  	
In Kerala,  where 
economic growth is higher than 
all  India  and  where  women  are 
relatively  more  educated,  experience
 the  highest 
unemployment  among  the 
major  States  in  India .  Kerala  has 
the  highest  female 
unemployment  rates  in  the 
country  according  to  various 
rounds  of  NSSO  surveys  on 
employment   and 
unemployment .  The  latest  NSSO 
data  for  2011 -12  indicates  that  t he  overall 
unemployme nt  rate  in  Kerala  is  6.7, with  a 
wide  gender  gap  of  14.1 percent  for  women 
and  2.9 percent for men.

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  31  
The rural
âurban break up of incidence 
of  unemployment  in  Kerala  and  India  over 
1993 -94  to  2011 -12  is  presented  in  Chart 
5 .3. 1.  and  Chart  5.3.2  This  chart  provides  an 
insight  into  the  disparity  between  men  and 
women  in  seeking  employment.  From  the 
chart  it  is  clear  that , both  in  rural  and  urban 
areas , the  incidence of unemployment is more 
for  women  than  for  men.  Besides  this, the 
rural and urban divid e in unemployment rates 
for  females  in  Kerala  is  narrow  unlike  at  the 
all -India  level.  At  the  national  level, the  
unemployment  rate  for  females  were 
often  double those in urban areas . This clearly 
indicates  that, while  gender  bias  is  more 
pronounced  in  the  case  of  Kerala, 
it  is  the  spatial  bias  that  is  more 
pronounced at the all India level.  
5 .4 Discrimination in Wages  	
The  gender and  regional 
discrimination  in  wages  at  the 
National  and  state  level  during 
2011 -12 , based  on  the  latest  NSS 
survey is presented in  Chart 5.4.1 . 
In  all  the  categories , both  in  rural 
and  urban  areas, female  wages  are  less  than 
male  wages.  The  chart  reveals  that, in  Kerala, 
gender  differential  in  wages  is  very  much  higher  among  the  casual 
labors. Men  casual 
labors  are  paid  almost  double  (Rural -  345.14 
and  Urban  â  335.76)  than  their  female 
counterpart  (Rural -  169.61  and  Urban  â 
167.56).  At  the  National  level  this  gender  gap 
is not so significant.   
The  wage  differences  among  the 
regular  wage/salaried  employees  showed 
equal  pattern  at the state and National levels.  
The  gender  gap  in  wages  in  the  rural  sector 
was  Rs.128  for  Kerala  and  Rs.  121  at  the 
National  leve l  and  in  urban  sector  it  was 
Rs.107  for  Kerala  against  Rs.104  at  the 
National level . (Chart 5.4.2)  
5 .5 Structure of Employment  	
Chart 5.5.1  shows  the  sectoral 
composition  of  workers  of  the  state  in 
comparison  with 
the  National  level. 
It  is  remarkable 
that  more  than  one 
â   third  of  women 
workers  (38 
percent)  in  Kerala 
are  in  tertiary 
sector.  The  corresponding 
national  figures  are

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  32  
very  low, only  17  percent  of  women  workers 
are  in  tertiary  sector.  The  proportion  of 
women  employed  in  the  secondary  sector  in 
Kerala  (30  percent)  is  much  higher  than  the 
corresponding  all -India  figures  for  both  men 
(26  percent)  and  women  (20  percent).  
Another  point  to  be  noted  is  that, females 
outnumbered males in primary  sector, both  in 
Kerala  and  National  level.  The  percentage  of 
female  workers  in  primary  sector  was  around 
32  percent  in  Kerala  and  63  percent  in  India.  
The corresponding proportion of male was 23 
and 44 respectively.   
The  rural  and  urban  distribution  of 
the  male  and  female  workers  among  the 
three  sectors  of  econo my  is  displayed  in  the 
Chart  5.5.2.  It  is  seen  that  for  all  India, 
percentage  of  rural  female  main  workers  in  tertiary  sector  remains 
a  single  digit  figure  (8 
percent).  But  for 
Kerala, 
the percentage 
of rural female workers 
in  tertiary  sector  is  as 
high  as  30  percent  in 
2011 -12.  Also , about  62 
percent  of  the  urban 
women  employees  are 
in  the  tertiary  sector, 
while  the values at the all India level are lesser 
(55 percent).   
The  proportion  of  female  workers  in 
the  secondary  sector  is  31  percent  in  rural 
Kerala,  while the  same  is  27  percent  in  the 
urban  area  of  the  state.  While  the  primary 
sector  still  remains  the  largest  source  of 
employment  for  both  men  (59  percent)  and 
women  (75  percent)  in  rural  India, in Kerala 
not even half the rural work force is employed  
in  the  primary  sector  (male  â  28  percent , 
female  â  39  percent)  .  On  the  other  hand, in  
urban  Kerala,  work force  in  primary  sector  is 
in line with the situation at the all India level.

.1  Introduction  	
Even  though  Kerala  is  a  shining 
example  of  women  empowerment  in  India, 
Kerala  is  far  behind  in  achieving  gender 
equality  in  terms  of  representation  of  women 
in political decision making.  Representation of 
women  in  legislature  and  political  movement 
is  extremely  low  in  Kerala  in  comparison  to 
their  numerical  strength.  In  the  general  
election  to  Kerala  legislative  assembly  2016 , 
there  were  only  2  women  ministers  in  the 
council  of  ministers. In  this  chapter  an 
attempt is made to analyze the role of women 
in decision making based on the data from the 
Election Commissioner of India.   
6 .2  Women Ministers in Kerala 	
Cabinet  	
It  is  to  be  noted  that  the  first 
Legislative  Assembly  of  Kerala  included  one 
women  minister  in  the  state  council  of 
ministers.  The  1960 , 1965 , 1970  and 
1977cabinets  of  Kerala  did  not  include  any 
women  ministers.  In  all  th e  successive  years, 
the  government  had  only  single  women 
minister.  The  2016  Kerala  Legislative 
Assembly has made a history by including two 
women  in  the  cabinet.  Data  on  women 
ministers  in  Kerala  cabinet  reveals  that 
number  of  women  ministers  is  extremely  low 
in  Kerala  in  comparison  to  their  numerical 
strength.

6 .3 Women in Kerala Assembly  	
The Table 6.3.1 shows  that in the first 
Legislative  Assembly, out  of  one  hundred  and 
fourteen  seats, only  9  women  contested  in 
the  election  and  only  six  were  elected, this  
was  around  5%  of  the  total seats.  In  1960 , 13 
women  contested  to  the  114  member  house 
and  7  were  elected.  In  the  next  election  in 
1965 , out  of  133  se ats  in  the  assembly, 
women  got only three  seats, it  was just below 
3% of the  total seats.  In the 1967 election only 
one  was  successful  and  their  share  in  the 
Assembly  came  down  to  0.75%.  In  the  1977 
election  womenâs  share  in  the  state  assembly 
showed  its  l owest  level  of  0.7%  in  the  140 
member  assembly.  The  1987  election  showed 
a  notable  increase  in  the  number  of  women 
contestants  (34)  and  a  small  progress  in  the 
number  those  who  were  elected  (8).  In  1996 , 
an  all -time  high  of  13  women  contestants 
were  elected  to  the  Kerala  Assembly, it was 
about  9%  of  the  total contestants.  But  this 
trend  was  not  seen  in  the  subsequent 
elections.  Their  numbers  was  only  8(5.7%)  in 
2001 , 7(5%)  in  both  2006  &  2011  and

elections to Kerala Assembly  	
It  is  clear  from  Chart 6.4.1 ;  Kerala 
showed  a  tremendous  growth  on  women

of  women  contestants  showed  its  lowest 
level , only  7  women  contested  that  is 
about 1.6 percent of the  total contestants.

contestants , 5 4  women participated that is 
about  eight  percent  of  the  total 
contestants.  All  the  subsequent  elections 
showed  an  increasing  trend  in  the 
participation  of  women.  Their  numbers

that  the political participation of 
women  in  terms  of  voting  in 
election  is  not  disappointing  compared  to  their 
representation  in

trend  in  the  polling 
percentage  of  both  men 
and  women, polling  
per centage of  women rose 
from  74.08  %  in  1967  to

.1 Introduction  	
Kerala,  which  has  the  top  position 
with  regard  to  Gender  Equality  Index  and 
Human  Development  Index  ranks  high  on 
Crime against Women. .  This chapter analyzes 
the  crime  trends  of  women  victims  during 
recent  years  (2012  - 2016)  in  the  state  Kerala 
and  in  all -India.  Data  for  the  study  has  been 
taken  from  various  volumes  of  Crime  in India, 
a  publication  of  National  Crime  Records 
Bureau,  India  and  from  the  National  Family 
Health  Survey  reports.    Section  6.2  addresses 
the  NFHS  findings  on 
three  types  of 
domestic  violence 
experie nced  by  ever-
married  women, 
namely,  physical  or 
sexual  violence  from 
any  one  and  spousal  violence.  Data  on  Crime 
against  Women  from  the  National  Crime 
Records  Bureau  is  analyzed in  Section  6.3  and 
finally  an  analysis  of  National  Crime  Records 
Bureau  data  o n  suicide  is  presents  in 
section6.4.  
7 .2 Domestic Violence  
 The  National  Family  Health 
Survey  (NFHS)  collects  information  from 
married  women  aged  15 -49  about  their 
experience  of  domestic  violence.    NFHS 
findings  emphasize  the  extent  and  severity  of 
violenc e  against  women  in  India.    This  section 
addresses the NFHS findings on three types of 
domestic  violence  experienced  by  ever-
married  women,  namely,  physical  or  sexual 
violence from any one and spousal violence.   
As  per  the  latest  NFHS  results,  among 
ever- married  women  age  15 -49  in  Kerala,  13 
percent  have  ever  experienced  physical  violence and 5 percent have ever experienced 
sexual violence.  At the National level this was 
30  and  6  percentage  respectively.    Around 
one
-third  of  ever -married  women  (33%)  in 
Indi a  have  ever  experienced  spousal  physical 
or  sexual  violence  by  their  current  husband 
(for  currently  married  women)  or  their  most 
recent  husband  (for  formerly  married 
women).    In  Kerala,  overall,  14  percent  of 
ever- married  women  experienced  physical  or 
sexu al  violence  from  their  husbands  ever  in 
their lifetime.  
During  the  10 -year  period  between 
NFHS -3  and  NFHS -4,  the  percentage  of 
women  age  15 -49  who  have  experienced 
physical  violence  has  declined  by  4 
percentage  points  (from  34  to  30)  at  the 
national  level  and  declined  by  3  percentage 
points  (from  16  to  13)  at  the  Kerala  State 
level.    Same  trend  was  observed  in  the 
incidence  of  spousal  violence.    This  declined 
from  37  to  31  percent  and  from  16  to  14 
percent  at  the  National  and  Kerala  State  level 
respec tively. 
7 .3 Crime  against Women  	
This  section  dealt  with  data  on  Crime 
against  Women  (CAW)  from  the  National 
Crime  Records  Bureau  (NCRB).    Analysis  is 
based  on  the  CAW  data  at  the  State  and  all -
India  level  between  2012  and  2016.    The 
NCRB  data  on  major  crimes  reported  against 
women  are  - rape,  kidnapping  and  abduction,

dowry  deaths,  cruelty  by  husband  and 
relatives, 
other  offences    of  the  total  9763 
various  crimes  reported  against  women 
during  2016,    1656  were  rape  cases,  166 
kidnapping  and  abduction,  25  dowry  deaths, 
3455  cruelty  by  husba nd  and  relatives  and 
432 other offences.  
Between  2012  and  2016,  the  number 
of  âRape  cases'  has  increased  from  1019  to 
1656 in Kerala and from 24923 to 38947 in all -
India  (Chart  7.3.1).    Both  at  the  State  and 
National  levels,  the  'cruelty  by 
husband/relati ves'  constitutes  a  major 
component  in  crime  against  women.  During 
the year 2016, a  total of 3455 cases of cruelty  by  husband/relatives  reported  in  Kerala  and 
110378  cases  reported  in  all
-India.    It  is  also 
seen  that  the  incidence  of  this  crime  is 
reducing  during  the  last  two  years.  It  is 
striking  that  between  2012  -  2016,  the  cases 
of  dowry  deaths  in  Kerala  remained  steady  at 
a  level  significantly  lower  than  for  India  as  a 
whole.    There  were  32  cases  of  dowry  death 
in 2012, which declined to 25 in 2016.   
Ev en  though  the  absolute  number  of 
crimes  is  increasing  over  the  years,  it  is  seen 
that  the  proportion  of  crimes  is  decreasing. 
The  crime  rate  trends  over  the  past  five  years 
show  that  the  crime  rate  of  Kerala  is  much 
higher  than  the  national  level.  The  inci dence

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  49  
of  crime  per  lakh  of  female  population  in 
Kerala  has  decreased  from  61.21  in  2012  to 
53.4  in  2016,  whereas  at  the  National  level,  it 
decreased from 41.74 to 53 (Chart  7.3.2).    
Cruelty  by  Husband/Relatives  is  the 
the  most  reported  crime  in  Kerala.    During 
2012,  the  incidence  of  this  crime  per  lakh  of 
female  population  in  Kerala  was  29.2  which  is 
11  point  higher  than  the  National  rate 
(National  rate  is  18.2).    After  the  year  2014, 
there  has  been  a  general  downward  trend  in 
the  rate  of  this  crime  in  Ke rala  with  27.2  in 2014,  20.2  in  2015  and  18.9  in  2016.    The 
same  downward  trend  is  observed  at  the 
National level also.  
 
Rape is one of the most severe crimes 
reported  against  women  in  Kerala.    Between 
2012 and 2016, the rate of rape  cases sharply 
increas ed  from  5.71  to  9.1  in  Kerala  and  from 
4.26  to  6.3  in  all -India.    It  is  clear  from  the 
Chart  6.3.2  that,  the  rate  of  rape  cases  in 
Kerala  remained  steady  at  a  level  significantly 
higher than for India as a whole. Whereas the 
rates  of  âDowry  Deathsâ  and  âKi dnapping  & 
Abductionâ    in  Kerala  remained  steady  at  a 
level  significantly  lower  than  for  India  as  a 
whole.    
7 .4 Incidence of Suicides  	
According  to  the  data  published  by 
the  WHO,  Suicide  is  the  second  leading  cause 
of  death  among  15 -29  year  olds  globally  a nd 
nearly  800  000  people  die  due  to  suicide

Gender Statistics 2017-18      P a g e |  50  
every  year,  which  is  one  person  every  40 
seconds.    In  India,  NCRB  collects  data  on 
suicides  from  police  recorded  suicides  cases 
and  publishes  various  reports.    This  section 
presents  an  analysis  of  NCRB  data  on  su icide.  
The  data  at  the  State  and  National  levels  for 
the  period  from  2001  to  2015  is  analyzed 
using the incidence of suicides and the Rate of 
suicides  i.e.  the  number  of  suicides  per  one 
lakh population.   
In  2015,  the  most  recent  year  for 
which data is a vailable, about 91528 male and 
42088  female  die  by  suicide  in  India,  of  these 
5828  males  and  1864  females  were  residents 
of  Kerala.    In  other  words,  in  Kerala,  on  an 
average  16  male  and  5  female  suicides  took  place  every  day 
during  the  year 
2015.    Clearly,
 the 
incidence  of  suicide 
is  higher  for  men, 
both  at  State  and 
National  level.    The 
numbers of male and 
female  suicides  in 
Kerala  during  the 
decade  (2005 â2015) 
have  recorded  a 
declining  trend.  The 
incidence  of  suicide 
for  men  declined 
from 6830 in 2005 to 
5828 in 2015 and the 
female  suicide  cases 
declined  from  2414 
in  2005  to  1864  in 
2015.  But  at  the 
National  level,  the 
numbers of male and 
female  suicides 
reported an increasing trend.    
Suicide rate is based on the number of 
people  who  have  died  by  suicide  per  100,000 
populations.  Because  changes  in  population 
size  are  taken  into  account,  rates  allow  for 
comparisons from one year to the next.  Chart 
6.4.1 shows the suicide rates in Kerala and all -
In dia,  for  each  year  from  2005  thr ough  2015, 
for  males  and  females  separately.    In  2015, 
there  were  34  male  and  10  female  deaths  by 
suicide  per  100,000  resident  populations in 
Kerala.    Whereas,  at  the  all -India  level,  the 
suicide  rate  for  men  and  female  were  14  and 
7  respectively.    Thus,  w e  can  see  that,  the 
suicide  rate  among  males  is  nearly  two  tim es 
higher than among females.
