Availability of basic amenities to urban households in West Bengal
Marginalisation and power politics in local governance
This article uses an urban case from West Bengal, India, to reveal that people lacking socio-economic and cultural capital have marginal access to civic services provided by the municipality. This marginalisation is a product of the municipality’s highly inequitable approach to governance practices, where there is a deliberate aversion to government schemes, infrastructure, and developmental projects aimed at marginal groups. Almost three decades…
Reading the geography of India’s district-level fertility differentials
India has gradually progressed into fertility transition over the last few decades. However, the timing and pace of this transition has varied notably in terms of both its geography and the demographic groups most affected by it. While much literature exists on the relationships between fertility level and its influence on demographic, economic, socio-cultural and policy-related factors, the potential spatial variations in the effects of these fa…
How residential compactness and attractiveness can be shaped by environmental amenities in an industrial city
Spatial Segregation in Indian Cities
As India transforms into an increasingly urban society, ward-level data from the 2011 Indian Census is analysed to decipher how inequality patterns vary across different scales of urban settlements, highlighting the spatial segregation by gender, caste, socio-economic status (SES) and access to goods, by examining a specific state (Uttar Pradesh) as a microcosm to account for the nation’s enormous socio-political diversity. Caste-based spatial se…
Spatial Perspectives of the New Census Towns, 2011
This detailed geographical analysis of the emergence of new census towns in 2011 reveals that, broadly, the spatial pattern of the new census towns follows the pattern of the existing urban centres. As a result, the force of urban concentration has been further accentuated. Quite expectedly the field of urban concentration around Kolkata urban agglomeration has been extended outward, which indicates the perpetuating centripetal force of the decli…
Magnetism in India’s Metros
A significant feature of the third world urbanisations, including India, is that most of the population is concentrated in few big cities and metropolitan areas. The article attempts to categorise the four top Indian metro cities in terms of their stage of growth, assess the components of population growth and summarise the migration dynamics in terms of the migrants’ choice of destination. The cores of the metropolitan areas have more population…
Changing socio-demographic composition of child labour
Child labour is an age-old phenomena in India. It is considered as harmful when it dampens the healthy development of the children. The Indian census provides information on working children by their age group, sex, residence, literacy status. This information is consistent in terms of the definitions adopted and its coverage and thus provides comparability. However, some of the cross tabulations of the information are not done in a comparable fa…
Indian census
The current paper is an effort towards highlighting the i) changes in terms of its content and coverage, ii) steps towards modernisation. It will attempt to stress the changes made in the Indian census since its inception with special emphasis on the 2001 census. However, changes in definitions related to different concepts used in the Indian census are not in the scope of this paper
