Convergence analysis of regional literacy rates in India
The literacy rate is a crucial prerequisite for individual empowerment. Approximately one-fourth of the population in India is still illiterate, which is a significant number given the country's population size. However, wide disparities in literacy rates persist across Indian states. This study aims to examine whether these differences in literacy rates across states are narrowing over time. To investigate this, we conduct a convergence analysis…
Empirical Evidence on the Grand Convergence of Infant Mortality Rates
Wl-6889-Are Infant Mortality Rates Converging Across Indian States? A Club Convergence Analysis
This study examines the convergence of infant mortality rate (IMR) across Indian states. IMR is a critical indicator of both child health and regional development. Understanding IMR convergence is vital, as it reveals whether disparities in child health are narrowing, which is essential for achieving equitable development. Our findings show absence overall convergence of IMR across Indian states. Instead, we identify club convergence, where state…
Wl-5841-Fertility in the business cycle
Previous studies found that fertility is affected by the position of the business cycle. However, such studies in the Indian context have not been done yet. This paper shows how fertility reacts in a business cycle in India. We take the unemployment rate as a proxy variable of the business cycle. Through a NARDL model, we find that although fertility is affected when the unemployment rate rises, a fall in the unemployment rate does not affect fer…
Female political representation and the emergence of female labour force participation convergence clubs in Asia
Purpose The existing literature supports the view that higher female political representation (FPR) in a country increases labour force participation. On the other hand, there are theoretical justifications to believe that in the transition process of female labour force participation rate (FLFPR) across countries, there is a tendency of club convergence. Thus, this study has two purposes. First, it aims to provide empirical evidence of the club …
