According to the report, “By 2022-23, the share of income and wealth of the richest one percent was at historic highs of 22.6 percent and 40.1 percent, respectively. India's income share of the top one percent is the highest in the world. This is more than South Africa, Brazil and America.” The report said that from the net worth perspective the Indian income tax system appears regressive.
The report says that the quality of economic data in India is very poor and has seen a decline recently. It says that the income share of the richest one percent of the population in India is high. This is probably less than only Peru, Yemen and some other countries.
At the same time, according to another report, out of the total population of about 69.2 crore women in India, 37 percent are actively employed. According to the 'State of Women Employment in India' report by talent solution provider CareerNet, cities like Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai are at the top in terms of providing employment to women.
