Abstract

In India, 59% of urban slums are "non-notified" or lack legal recognition by the government. We use data on 2,901 slums from four waves of the National Sample Survey spanning nearly 20 years to assess the relationship between a slum's legal status and the severity of deprivation in access to basic services, including piped water, latrines, and electricity. Our analysis reveals a progressive reduction in deprivation the longer that a slum has been notified. These findings suggest that legally recognizing non-notified slums and targeting government aid to these settlements may be crucial for improving health outcomes and diminishing urban disparities.

二十年来城市贫民窟的法律地位与剥夺。

在印度，59%的城市贫民窟“未被通知”或缺乏政府的法律认可。我们使用了近20年来四次全国抽样调查中2901个贫民窟的数据，以评估贫民窟的法律地位与基本服务(包括自来水、厕所和电力)被剥夺的严重程度之间的关系。我们的分析显示，贫民窟被告知的时间越长，贫困状况就会逐渐减少。这些发现表明，在法律上承认未通报的贫民窟，并有针对性地向这些定居点提供政府援助，可能对改善健康结果和缩小城市差距至关重要。
