Event Description
Employment occupies centre stage in many policy discussions across India today, and the matching of talent with opportunity is affected by frictions along many different lines, with gender being a dominant category of exclusion/friction. There are a number of critical issues that Indian policymakers are grappling with, at the state and central levels, in understanding the nature of growth processes unfolding in India today and its gendered patterns, how specific growth strategies and policies better enable structural transformation that allows talent to be matched with opportunity regardless of gender, critical institutions and incentives needed for environmental conservation that can enable long-term welfare and counter climate change, and how the dynamics in a changing economy that responds to climate breakdown and digitalisation might alleviate or reinforce long standing patterns of segregation by gender in the Indian economy.
