Through a narrative analysis of the chronicles of internal migrant workers and the migrant crisis published in print media during the first wave of COVID-19, this article elucidates how internal borders within a country became impermeable, affecting the rights and well-being of vulnerable citizens, who were labelled ‘disease carriers’. The discrimination and othering faced by migrants aggravated during this period, making them more prone to fall through the cracks of the crisis. Although mobility restrictions were important public health tools to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 infections, they undoubtedly exacerbated the pre-existing socio-economic inequities and vulnerabilities. Problematising these aspects of the migrant crisis during the pandemic, this article proposes migration policies and governance through effective public communication, inclusive decisions and human rights as a way forward.","PeriodicalId":202404,"journal":{"name":"Review of Development and Change","volume":" 358","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140989750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings suggest that the increasing presence of private schools in the education marketplace, particularly in the contemporary era of neoliberalism, has commodified the education in the state, and these education providers offer compulsory schooling in diverse forms, with varying costs depending on the demand of their student clientele. Parents who enroll their children in elite private schools pay approximately seven times more than those choosing low-fee private schools. Private schools exert undue financial burden on their parent clientele (particularly those from low- and middle-income groups). This situation highlights the concept of ‘compulsion to pay’, especially in the absence of an acceptable quality of service provided by state-owned schools. Our regression analysis results on determinants of household expenditure reveal that households from socially and economically marginalised sections (for example, scheduled castes and the poor) spend significantly less than their more affluent counterparts. We recommend that the state take a more stringent approach to regulating these non-state education providers, particularly in terms of exorbitant fees, which would prevent further widening of the existing socio-economic inequality in the state.","PeriodicalId":202404,"journal":{"name":"Review of Development and Change","volume":"4 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study further investigates the motives for households’ off-the-farm income diversification patterns. The Simpson Income Diversification index and count index were used to measure income diversification. The results of heteroscedastic fractional probit correlated random effects and Poisson fixed effects indicate that the level of diversifying off-the-farm income is driven by attributes of household such as assets value, household size, female headship, level of education, dependency ratio, access to credit, distance to tarred road and geographical location of household at the national level. The study found that the motive for accumulation drives households’ off-the-farm income diversification rather than the motive for survival. Specifically, non-poor households in the urban sector seem more probable to expand into off-the-farm income enterprises than poor rural households. A major finding is that the choice of off-the-farm income diversification proxy has a great influence on the drivers.","PeriodicalId":202404,"journal":{"name":"Review of Development and Change","volume":"37 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116600504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the National Sample Survey data of 2004–2005 and 2019–2020, it is found that the gender inequality (against women) in employment opportunity is not only prevalent in the rural non-farm labour market but also on the rise during the last one and a half decades. The perceived difference in human capabilities between women and men and the non-availability of enough job opportunities could be a major driver of this inequality, apart from the existing social stigma in hiring the women in the rural labour market. This is reflected by the rise in the mean wage difference between two genders during 2004–2005 and 2019–2020. Both the mean and the quantile decomposition results suggest that a higher percentage of gender wage differentials is due to endowment components or labour productivity differences. Because of the existence of the ‘sticky floor’ phenomenon, the wage disparity is relatively larger at the bottom end of the earning distribution. But it reduces when we stride towards higher quintiles on the wage distribution. Hence, it is argued that policies aimed at enhancing the skill endowment of rural women can substantially reduce both the non-farm sector gender wage gap and the inequality in access to non-farm employment.","PeriodicalId":202404,"journal":{"name":"Review of Development and Change","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134531525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
