Introduction
Social development is about improving the well-being of every individual in society so they can
reach their full potential (Jayachandran, 2015). In this, report the outline of the research design is

gender inequalities towards the social development outcomes. The results describe that gender

unemployment in the society (Fortin et al., 2017). This research is also relevant to the current
