My new paper on women wokers in Rajasthan's UEG looks at what happens when public works move beyond rural areas. The evidence matters much more now- at a time when NREGA had been quietly hollowed out!

Why the proposed NFSA amendment should be "thrown in the dustbin".

A @MinneapolisFed study of 850,000+ Census hires in 2010 finds that even temporary govt jobs can meaningfully affect labor market trajectories, especially for those on the employment margins.

Drawing on the insights shared during the webinar series on worker's cooperatives (link below), I discuss women worker's cooperatives as an alternative to the traditional sense of firm and enterprise.

[Ideas for India @Ideas4India]

Collective organisation is one way in which workers respond to the precarity of informal work.

Rajasthan's UEG isn't just a safety net, it is pulling new women into the workforce. Flexible, local, government provided jobs lower barriers to entering paid work for women.

[Indian Urbanism @IndianUrbanist]

It’s alarmingly routine from demonetization to covid to LPG crisis all of India’s policy response starts by pretending that migrant workers don’t exist and don’t matter.
