Effect of Climate Change on Indian Economy

Climate change can make weather patterns less predictable. Farmers' decisions regarding what crops to plant and when to grow them are impacted by uncertainty about monsoonal changes, which lowers productivity. Work hours are cut in industries like construction that need a lot of outside activity due to climate change. Days with severe heat or floods tend to have reduced labour productivity, which lowers industrial yields, lowers exports and lowers national income.

Gender gap

Even though traditional gender roles are being defied by many people and Indian women are excelling in many careers, gender norms are believed and strongly endorsed by many in India. In general, women are expected to take care of the kids, elderly and household chores, and hence they are left with little time to do a paid job.
