Women’s labour market outcomes and contours of subnationalism: A comparison across four states in India. - Economic and Political Weekly - 59(23), Jun 8, 2024: p.29-35

The shifts in women’s employment outcomes pre- and post-pandemic across four Indian states are analysed using the Periodic Labour Force Survey data for 2018–19 and 2020–21. Adopting the lens of subnationalism, we argue that the states with stronger subnational politics fare better in creating quality employment outcomes for women even during the crisis. We discover that women from disadvantaged educational and social categories in states with stronger subnationalistic tendencies have outdone their counterparts in securing quality employment outcomes. – Reproduced
