Mapping religion, space and economic outcomes in Indian cities
We deploy a socio-spatial approach and use a spatially representative survey that we conducted in the Indian cities of Hyderabad and Mumbai to analyse the relation between city space and religion. There are similarities and differences across these two cities in terms of how religion intersects with city space. While Muslims are much more marginalised in both cities relative to other communities like Hindus or Jains, and live in ghettos/enclaves,…
Gender and Work Patterns in Indian Cities: A Socio-Spatial Analysis
Using an original household survey conducted in Hyderabad and Mumbai that identifies intra-city spatial coordinates of residents, this study presents a socio-spatial analysis of gender and paid work. The results show that the ease of movement through the city, allocation of care work-related considerations and educational attainment are all crucial to understanding the labor force participation patterns of urban women in India. A gender lens iden…
Income Inequality and Income Mobility
Inequality has emerged as an issue of enormous concern in recent times. There is also concern that opportunities have become limited for the poor, and their chances of mobility have diminished. Income is an important dimension for the analysis of inequality and mobility. Studies on income inequality and mobility have been conducted at both the individual and group levels using different techniques. Income inequality and mobility are linked. At a …

Inequality of Opportunity in India: Concepts, Measurement and Empirics
In recent times, inequality of opportunity has seen increasing interest among economists and public policy advocates. In this article, I present a critical survey of the idea of inequality of opportunity, including the philosophical ideas that underpin it and the issues and problems that arise in its conceptualization and implementation. I then discuss the operationalization of this idea in the Indian context using two publicly available, nationa…
Political Economy of Contemporary India
The need to understand regional variation in politics and political economy, and how these have contributed to different developmental outcomes across various parts of India, remains pressing. It was suggested in the early 1960s that in India the central government was largely under the control of a national capitalist class, while the states were dominated by landed interests. Does such a formulation hold ground today? With increasing political …
Mobility and inequality in neoliberal India
In this article, we portray the Indian experience of mobility and inequality since the early 1990 s. First, we address the question of heightening Indian inequality. Inequality has tended to rise substantially and can be understood in terms of the growing distance among social classes. Second, we present an analysis of migration in class terms and examine whether it has contributed to a reduction or heightening of inequality. Migrants as a group,…

Gender Inequalities in Tasks and Instruction Opportunities within Indian Families
This contribution uses the Indian Time Use Survey (ITUS 1999) to document gender inequalities in tasks in India and their impact on an important aspect of inequality of opportunity – the resources invested in the education of children. It examines the school attendance of Indian children and the probability that they receive informal instruction or assistance with learning at home. The analysis documents clear gender inequalities in the allocatio…
Social Capital and Basic Goods: The Cautionary Tale of Drinking Water in India
This study uses micro-data from the 1998-99 Indian Time Use Survey (ITUS; covering 77,593 persons in 18,591 households in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Orissa, and Haryana) to argue that time use data provides a natural metric for measuring "social capital" building activities and for distinguishing between the relative importance of "bonding" into groups or "bridging" within communities. The study examines the correlation betwe…
Attached Labour Contracts in Agriculture: Results and Analysis from a Survey in South India
This paper analyzes agricultural attached (long-term) labour contracts in the Telangana region of South India. Insights into the functioning of rural labour markets are provided, facilitating a richer understanding of impoverished groups in rural contexts. Most attached labourers in Telangana are heavily indebted and lack land or other assets. They choose attachment to get credit (used mainly for servicing debt) and a dependable source of income.…
