भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था में महिलाओं के योगदान पर अध्ययन करने की सख़्त ज़रुरत है। एक ओर सुनने में आता है कि भारत की महिला श्रम भागीदारी दर साउदी अरब जैसे रूढ़िवादी राज्य के करीब पहुँच चुकी है तो दूसरी ओर कई भारतीय महिलाएँ अर्थव्यवस्था के हर क्षेत्र में नयी ऊँचाइयाँ छू रही हैं। तो इस एपिसोड में हमने महिला श्रम के कई पहलुओं पर चर्चा की अर्थशास्त्री, प्रोफेसर अश्विनी देशपांडे से, जो इस विषय पर दो दशकों से शोध कर रही हैं।

What do the low women labour force participation rates in India indicate? How has COVID-19 impacted women labour in India? What can the Indian state, society, and markets do to correct the gender gap? These are some questions we discuss in this Puliyabaazi with Dr Ashwini Deshpande (@AshwDeshpande), Professor of Economics and the Founding Director of Centre for Economic Data and Analysis at Ashoka University.
