Barriers to the Adoption of Improved Sanitation in Rural Punjab
The burgeoning pool of evidence suggests discernible health and non-health benefits associated with improved sanitation (IS). Nevertheless, the poor and middle-income households among the Bagri community in rural Indian Punjab exhibit a discernible predisposition towards the uptake of ‘unimproved sanitation’ (i.e., usage of pit latrines [without slab]), instead of relying on the IS alternatives. The present exploratory study, based on primary sur…
Why Do More Boys Enrol in Private Schools? Evidence From India
While it is evident that the gender parity in schooling has improved considerably in India in the last few decades, research on pro-male bias in accessing privately managed schools is sparse. This study, using a national household survey data, analyses the association of household resources with gender inequality in private school enrolment in India. Results show a clear pro-male bias in private school enrolment in India—households are 2.1 per ce…

Investigating the Determinants of Female Child Labour
This exploratory article, on the basis of a comprehensive field survey, identifies and empirically examines the various key quantitative and qualitative determinants of female child labour in Haryana (India). These factors have been examined on three broader parameters, viz. economic, sociocultural and institutional by way of using a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique, called the analytic hierarchy process model. The analysis clea…
Household Expenditure on Secondary Education in Haryana (India)
Existing studies on household expenditure on education in India largely focus on the elementary and tertiary levels of education. Until recently, researchers have paid little consideration to examining the issue of household investment at the secondary level of education, especially in the sub-national context. Using a recent primary survey encompassing quantitative and qualitative data, this article examines the levels, patterns and determinants…
Employment of educated youth in rural Punjab
In the context of larger discussions of how education, employment opportunities and social mobility processes intersect, this article presents micro-evidence to interrogate the role of higher education in accessing avenues for mobility regarding employment opportunities for educated youth in India’s rural Punjab. By presenting their career ambitions and trajectories, this fieldwork-based article maps a plethora of dynamics influencing the individ…
Who all access private coaching in higher education and how much do they spend? Evidence from India
Using the latest National Sample Survey (NSS) education round data, we examine the patterns and determinants of demand and cost of private coaching in higher education in India. Two-step Heckman selection equation results find that students with better household resources (rich and educated) are more likely to take private coaching and tend to spend more on it. Results show that not only pro-male gender discrimination is in existence; there is al…
Beyond Access and Inclusion
Keeping constitutional egalitarianism and social justice as primary goals, Indian state has emphasized on making education more inclusive by improving accessibility of socially marginalized sections. When the exclusion has multi-prone dimensions with social, economic and cultural overlapping factors, the present study attempts to observe how much inclusion the process of formal accessibility has provided in a real sense. In this context, the arti…
State, Market and Social Inequalities
The article, using the National Sample Survey (henceforth NSS) data, establishes that the non-state providers, particularly the private-unaided sub-sector, have predominantly captured the primary school education market in Punjab. The predominance of these schools in the state has made the primary education a tradable commodity, catering to the demands based on the ability of the households to pay. In such a situation, the type of school (governm…
