Product Description

This book maps the earning, spending, and saving profiles of Indians in the post-liberalization era. It studies how socioeconomic, religious, and individual characteristics lead to inequality in the incomes of households. Among other problematic aspects, it reveals that while a household s income is primarily dependent on socioeconomic factors (occupation, education and the age of its chief earner), its economic prosperity is affected by factors such as its spending and saving levels, sectors of employment of members, and state of residence.

The book is based on the results of the National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure (NSHIE) 2004 05, conducted under the aegis of the National Council for Applied Economics Research (NCAER).

Product Description
This book details the author's research in the last decade in understanding the need for economic reforms with 'human face' or equitable development. Indian experience with reforms in the last sixteen years reveals that there have been achievements on economic growth but inequalities have increased and exclusion continued. This book examines the performance, issues and challenges in most important and inter-related elements of inclusive growth: agriculture, poverty, food security and employment, social sector and, regional disparities. In order to achieve inclusive growth, the study argues for macro pro-poor and people centric policies. Since challenges for achieving inclusive growth are much more than raising economic growth, the volume also argues that public policy should give priority to the 'inclusive' sectors rather than concentrating on policies to improve lop sided growth benefiting few sections of the population. It also suggests that growth and equity objectives should be pursued simultaneously rather than growth in the first phase and equity in the next round.The book also emphasis on the importance of women's economic and social empowerment and socially disadvantaged sections like SCs and STs for realizing inclusive growth. ...

Product Description
The Handbook analyzes the status of the Muslims in India by looking at the discussion initiated by the 2006 report of the Prime Minister's High Level Committee on the Status of Muslims in India, headed by Justice Rajinder Sachar.
