Digital taylorism and the future of employment relations in India
This study examines the gig economy as a site of contested employment relations, interrogating how algorithmic governance reshapes the social contract between workers and platforms. Drawing on a scoping review of 145 studies, this paper develops a conceptual framework integrating precarious work theory, power dynamics, and employment relations constructs—including worker voice, collective agency, and dispute resolution—to analyse the structural c…
From Marginalization to Agency in Tribal Gujarat? A Mixed-Method Assessment on Impact of Microfinance-led Interventions on Women
Tribal women in India encounter deep-rooted structural barriers to economic, social, and educational empowerment. Despite their significant contributions to household sustenance through unpaid labour and informal economic activities, these efforts remain largely unrecognised, perpetuating cycles of poverty and dependency. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a structured survey with a literature review, to examine the impact of …
Fading voices
This paper examines the decline of working-class literature in India, tracing its historical evolution and identifying the socio-economic and cultural factors responsible for this trend. Drawing on Marxist literary theory, postcolonial criticism, and comparative perspectives on working-class literatures in other national contexts — including Ireland, Italy, and Greece — this study argues that the erosion of this genre is not a natural literary ev…
Hidden Economies and Urban Narratives
Bifurcated Mobilities
From credit to capabilities
This study explores the impact of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) on capability development among tribal women in Dahod district, Gujarat. It uses the capability approach to examine how microfinance expands substantive freedoms – such as agency, autonomy, and valued functioning like education and reduced dependency – beyond mere income increases. A mixed-methods analysis of primary data from 360 respondents (180 SHG members and 180 matched non-members) r…

Enabling Tribal Women with Microfinance-Based Initiatives? Evidence from Tribal Populated Dahod District
This study is based on field evidence and relevant databases to understand impact of microfinance-led initiative on tribal women. In India, tribal women tend to face the brunt of societal discrimination in the house and outside, leading to disempowerment. Microfinance model meant to empower women to have positive impact on household and society but filed evidence from Dahod suggests that microfinance initiatives has experienced limited success in…
Food for Thought
This study aims to empirically understand the precarity of food delivery work at online platforms particularly during the COVID-19-led devastations. Food delivery workers are the new form of the global phenomenon in the labour market. This is a result of access to cheap internet and smartphones among customers, which has enabled the platform to create a new form of labour market. Platform-based food aggregators use the terminology of 'delivery pa…
Covid-19 pandemic and work precarity at digital food platforms
This study tries to establish a conceptual and empirical understanding of the precarity of work in the platform economy using food aggregators as illustrations and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Internet access and smartphone facilitated the creation of platform aggregators, which emerged as a new workspace for young workers in India. However, food aggregators term these workers as 'delivery partners'; this changes the employer-employee…
A meta-analysis on the effects of internal migration on economic growth and convergence in the Indian states
This paper examines the trajectory of internal migration and its impact on growth leading to convergence in India. The analysis is based on secondary data sourced from the Reserve Bank of India, Census and Economic and Political Weekly Research Foundation. It captures the data for a period of 20 years (1991-2011). An initial review indicates internal migration in the form of intra-state migration is very high compare to inter-state migration. The…
Worlds Apart in India
This study attempts to decipher the working condition of contract workers with subsequent inferences from wage-based discrimination in formal mining units to understand discriminatory practices and informalization of employment. The methodology uses both theoretical and empirical methods. The empirical analysis follows a descriptive approach with wage decomposition analysis to understand the ongoing phenomenon. The study is primarily based on fie…
Labour and Labour Welfare in Special Economic Zones in India with Special Reference to Gujarat
This article discusses welfare measures in the formal sector being constrained by labour legislation which is, at best, empirically fragile. This very fragility requires us to view labour laws and possible reforms using conceptual frames that are not preoccupied with de jure legislation but rather focus on the actual implementation of the law considering judicial and executive practice. Various factors taken together complemented by empirical wor…
