Statistical Analysis of Literacy Rates Using Indian Census Data

Abstract

There exist many prevalent issues in today’s world, many of which seem to have no feasible solution. One such issue is the disparity in the education provided between males and females. Gender equality is an important topic for discussion and reform in the modern world, and yet a full, thorough understanding of the intensity of the issue is yet to be elicited. Using a combination of modern computational statistical analysis and the vast, extensive trough of census data, this paper provides a framework for gaining a better viewpoint on the issues plaguing us currently, thus taking a step closer to eradicating them.
