  • Advancing Female Corporate Leadership

    Open AccessNina Jacob, Chandrasekhar et al.ARTICLEMillennial Asia2021Referencias: 13

    This article investigates whether women managers possess any specific leadership attributes which will enable them to be promoted to leadership positions on merit grounds. It also examines whether women encounter barriers, which impede their progress to the top. Data for our study were collected from a sample of 372 managers in leadership positions across India, half of whom were women and the other half were men. The survey was done through the …

  • Migration, caste and livelihood

    Chandrasekhar, Arup MitraARTICLEUrban Research & Practice2019

    This paper based on a primary survey of slum dwellers in four Indian cities examines the caste dimension of migrants and the nexus, if any, between caste and the job market participation. Based on the quantitative exercises, we observe overlaps between social and economic status. A higher propensity to migrate is evident among the population belonging to the general (GEN) category and other backward castes in comparison to the scheduled castes an…

  • Land-holding, participation in agriculture and short-term migration in rural India

    Chandrasekhar, Sarbeswar SahooARTICLEAsian Population Studies2019Citada por: 1Referencias: 5

    We analyse a nationally representative data set from India for the year 2013 in order to provide evidence on how short-term migration is affected by household ownership of land and participation in agricultural activities. We estimate a recursive-bivariate-probit model recognising the simultaneity between short-term migration and the decision to operate the land. The results of the likelihood ratio test imply that it would be incorrect to ignore …

  • Designing programs to improve diets for maternal and child health

    Open AccessWilliam A Masters, Katherine L Rosettie et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 22

    Improving maternal and child nutrition in resource-poor settings requires effective use of limited resources, but priority-setting is constrained by limited information about program costs and impacts, especially for interventions designed to improve diet quality. This study utilized a mixed methods approach to identify, describe and estimate the potential costs and impacts on child dietary intake of 12 nutrition-sensitive programs in Ethiopia, N…

  • Household food insecurity and children's dietary diversity and nutrition in India. Evidence from the comprehensive nutrition survey in Maharashtra

    Open AccessChandrasekhar, Víctor M Aguayo et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    We analyse data from the 2012 Comprehensive Nutrition Survey in the State of Maharashtra, India, which surveyed 2,630 households. This is a unique dataset because in addition to nutritional status of mothers and children, it has information on diets of women and children and household food security. This rich dataset allows us to address three issues: whether household food security predicts higher diet diversity in children aged 6-23 months; whe…

  • Home-based Workers and Multiple Uses of Dwellings in Urban India

    Open AccessChandrasekhar, S ChandrasekharARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization Asia2014

    This article complements the literature on self-employment by focusing on the issue of multiple use of dwelling and home-based workers in urban India. Using data from Census of India 2011, the article establishes the prevalence of multiple uses of houses. Following this, the descriptive analysis, based on unit level data from a unique nationally representative data set on employment and unemployment for the year 2009–2010, establishes sufficient …

  • Looking Beyond Universal Primary Education

    Sajeda Amin, ChandrasekharARTICLEAsian Population Studies2012Citada por: 5Referencias: 9

    This paper addresses gender equity in parents' educational investments in children in rural Bangladesh. The authors analyse correlates of time spent in school, studying outside school and work, using a dataset on time-use patterns of school-going children. The authors find that time spent at work varies inversely with the amount of time spent studying at home. Time spent in school is insensitive to factors such as poverty and gender. Time spent s…

  • Multiple Dimensions of Urban Well-Being

    Chandrasekhar, Abhiroop MukhopadhyayARTICLEAsian Population Studies2012

    Concomitant with higher levels of urbanisation in developing countries, there has been a sharp increase in both the number of urban poor and slum dwellers. In line with Millennium Development Goals, the focus of policymakers has primarily been on slum dwellers. Using a nationally representative dataset from India, we compare well-being of people living in slums with those living in non-slum urban areas. We argue that while policies to improve acc…

  • Poverty and Well‐Being in Indian Cities During the Reforms Era

    Open AccessChandrasekhar, Abhiroop MukhopadhyayARTICLEPoverty & Public Policy2010Referencias: 3

    This paper seeks to understand temporal changes in poverty and well‐being in Indian cities during the era of economic reforms. The evidence on improvements in well being is mixed. During this period, there was an increase in the number of urban poor. Using two nationally representative samples, we compare the joint distribution of monthly per capita expenditure (a private good) and access to drainage (a public good) in slums and non‐slum areas of…

  • Reminiscences and Discoveries on Ramanujan's Bust

    Open AccessChandrasekhar, Sivaramakrishna ChandrasekharARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…1995

    Ramanujan was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1918 and he died in 1920, slightly more than a year after his return to India in 1919. The story of how a bust of one who had died in 1920 came to be made 60 years later is of some interest; and I hope that it is proper to tell that story on this occasion. In his biographical notice for Ramanujan (Proceedings of the Royal Society A 99, xiii-xxix) G.H. Hardy wrote: It was his insight into algebraica…

    THE events I want to talk about took place more than fifty years ago. They are centred during World War I and the years immediately following. The principal actors in those events are famous men; they were, at least to their contemporaries, among the great men of science. I am not in a position to judge whether those men will be treated with the same reverence today as they were during my years in Cambridge, in the early and in the middle 1930s. …
