National datasets differ on women's land rights because they use different criteria in their calculations.

Bhubaneswar: There are wide variations in national datasets on women's land ownership in India depending on which agency made the estimate, frustrating efforts to design and implement gender-balanced policies, our analysis shows.

National datasets differ on women's land rights (WLR) because they use different criteria in their calculations. Some estimates include only agricultural land, others include homestead land, while still others include land leased for cultivation, as we detail later.

Women's access to and control over productive resources, especially ownership of agricultural land, is key to their economic empowerment, social status, physical security, and their own and their families' overall well-being. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the Food And Agriculture Organization's voluntary guidelines endorse gender equality, with the former adding two SDG indicators (1.4.2 and 5 a 1) for annual reporting on the status of women's land rights. India currently uses the Agriculture Census (2015-16) to report on women's land rights to track SDG progress and for the FAO's Gender Land Rights Database.
