The Relationship between Academic Productivity and Sex of Net Generation Students

Abstract

Research in the field of sex studies has become a dynamic area of study over the past few decades and is likely to become even more so as the importance of sex equality is rapidly gaining momentum. Therefore understanding sex differences will be viewed as increasingly important. India has been regarded as the youngest country in the world by the UN, as it has the world’s second-largest population. However, there are only 940 females for every 1000 males (census 2011), indicating clear sex discrimination. Sex difference is one of the most neglected components in the Indian education system due to the complexity in its computation. Sex shapes an individual’s personality, measured by the big 5 personality traits of an individual (Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) and controls the behavior of the person, which has a strong relationship with academic productivity. This article aims to examine the relationship between Academic productivity and sex of net generation students.
