Question:

Which of the following discipline is not related to Gender Geography?

Options:

Sociology

Demography

Anthropology

Women's Studies

Correct Answer:

Demography

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Demography

Gender Geography focuses on the spatial aspects of gender relations, including how gender roles and identities influence and are influenced by space and place. It draws heavily from:

  • Sociology – for understanding social structures and gender roles

  • Anthropology – for cultural contexts of gender across societies

  • Women’s Studies – for feminist perspectives and gender-based analysis

Demography, while it studies population statistics (like sex ratios, age structure, fertility), is more quantitative and not directly concerned with the social and spatial analysis of gender roles. Demography relates to the field of Population Geography.
