Between unfreedoms
Indian indentured labour migration followed slavery in providing cheap labour to British plantation colonies. To make this migration characteristically distinct from slavery, the workers were offered a subsidized trip back at the end of the indenture period. However, despite this guaranteed and subsidized return passage, only about a third of the workers returned to India. In this article, we consider the role of caste in the decision to return h…
Stigma and Labour Market Outcomes

Analysing the determinants of these activities within a multivariate probit model, we find that the best possible outcome for girls is in di…

Does Child Work Decrease with Parental Income? The Luxury Axiom Revisited in India
The software industry and development
Software and globalization provide both opportunities and challenges to developing countries. Whether these opportunities are successfully utilized depends upon the availability of infrastructure and educational skills, a conclusion arrived at by many development debates over the past few decades. We will consider the impact of the software industry on development, drawing on the case of India. We show that in India, a number of factors have come…
