The gender inequality existing in the demographic composition of a society is portrayed by the socio-economic conditions of the female population, their literacy rate, poverty, employment opportunity, life expectancy etc. It is a universally acceptable economic prescription that, for a populous country like India, ready to enjoy the Demographic dividend, gender equality is a main objective that must be achieved in order to achieve sustainable overall economic growth. In this paper we make a humble effort to study the problems associated with gender inequality and the potentiality of microfinance institutions in reducing the gap of gender inequality and ensuring women empowerment.
