<Abstract>“Education is the ‘passport’ to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”.
-Malcolm X.
The quote beautifully encapsulates the transformative potential of education in unlocking boundless opportunities for human growth. However, in context of this paper, the ‘passport’ is a euphemism. While women in India have undergone the disproportionate brunt of patriarchy in terms of access to resources and opportunities, particularly education, this has had a spill-over effect, stifling their ability to access services essential for integrating them as equal citizens in the society.
One of those services is passport penetration, which remains largely stunted in most parts of the country with respect to women. What remains to be seen is whether education has any role to play in this. Particularly so because as per a survey by CPPR Youth Leadership Fellowship in March 2024, Kerala has the highest number of women passport holders in the country with the highest female literacy rate too.
Thus, the aim of this paper is to answer the research question “Does increased access to education improve women’s passport access?”, and also ascertain how this trend varies across different socio-economic and cultural contexts in India. While significant research has been undertaken on the overall impact of education in enhancing the position of women in society, this aspect remains under-researched.
The paper would draw on secondary sources of data collection, particularly surveys like NFHS, India Human Development Survey or Census Data to collect demographic information and conduct regression analysis to analyse the relationship between education, passport access and other variables like age, marital status etc. This would help reach conclusions about policy potential in enhancing women’s access to education and thereby facilitating their integration with global opportunities and reap the benefits of globalisation.</Abstract>
