Abstract: This paper discusses characteristic gender inequality issues and analyses the effect of gender and education of parents on the same. The study also analyses some of the social and economic aspects of urban adult population in urban Rajasthan. The results show that a girl's future progress is positively associated with the education of her parents. Further, the difference in outlook towards girl child's social status (in comparison to male sibling) is associated with the education level of the parents and is not gender specific. A remarkable conclusion of the study is no statistically significant association of education or gender of parent on the girl child's future independence. The awareness about the gender inequality issues is not gender specific. However, the study identifies a worrying sign that only about 50% urban parents were aware of gender inequality issues.
