Pesticides, which include insecticides, rodenticides, herbicides, and fungicides, are widely used in global agricultural practices to protect crops from pest attacks. While pesticides are considered important for their role in boosting agricultural productivity and meeting global food security targets, the article argues that pesticides have a detrimental impact on human health both via occupational and non-occupational routes of exposure. It discusses the human health effects of prolonged pesticide exposure both in the international and national contexts. The article shows that despite a lower aggregate and per capita pesticide consumption vis-à-vis other countries at the national level, the use of agricultural pesticides in India has led to a disproportionate burden of premature deaths due to chronic diseases. By categorising the registered Indian pesticides as per the World Health Organization’s toxicity criterion, the paper argues that unregulated sale of both registered and unregistered pesticides must be addressed to counter the broader health hazards associated with pesticides in general, and the looming burden of chronic diseases that India is faced with in particular.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125129818","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 ability to accommodate newer politico-legal and administrative structures that would minimise conflict and maximise social, political and economic justice has been an unending issue, especially for the tribes in the Northeastern region. The autonomy framework needs to be premised on the condition that people of a specific locality know best what specific autonomous spheres’ activities/powers and resources they should be endowed with and be given constitutional recognition. In this context, it is pertinent to examine whether this framework has fulfilled the aspirations of tribals and addressed their grievances, and thus yielded the desired results, or if there is a need to relook at the structure. The political instability and peoples’ resistance, especially the tribal group as well as the ethnocultural minority group that clamour against the state and dominant politics, has been a never-ending issue in the region. The article brings forth the nuances of inclusive policies and their limits for accommodating ethnically diverse communities. It also examined the framework of federal arrangement and elucidated peoples’ experiences of self-governance and its problems.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115521452","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}

This article assesses the extent of community involvement in communal water interventions in Malawi. This came against a backdrop of witnessing high failure rate, that is, about 30%. The study, therefore, sought to assess the extent of community stakeholders’ involvement, and whether this can explain the outcomes in these interventions. A mixed methods approach was followed, and primary data was collected through a survey and key informant interviews. Key documents were also reviewed. The study findings show that the very idea to bring a communal water point into the community is largely exogenous, and that there are significant levels of exclusion of community-based stakeholders in first three phases of water projects, with the exception of maintenance phase as it is essentially fate accompli. When functional and non-functional water points are compared in areas where there is evidence of community involvement, the former shows significant degrees of community involvement unlike the latter. This is one key aspect explaining positive outcomes and sustainability. All this, arguably, entails serious shortcomings in water sector in Malawi, demonstrated by failure of policy and enforcement of standards.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115331072","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}

Using ARDL technique to examine the long-run and short-run relationship between corruption and human capital development, and VECM to assess the causal effects, the analysis involves the inclusion of two corruption indicators (corruption index and control of corruption) as well as two human capital development measures (human capital index and life expectancy at birth). Findings obtained are consistent with efficiency-reducing theory (corruption is harmful), as the empirical evidence indicates that corruption has a significant impact on human capital development, suggesting that the incidence of corruption is a crucial element in the development of human capital. Further evidence reveals that there exists bidirectional causality between corruption and human capital development, implying that both the level of corruption and human capital development are interlinked and mutually inducing. Hence, the entrenched phenomenon of corruption in the country seems to have presaged long-term poor human development. It is therefore suggested that aside existing institutions established to curb corruption, such policy measures, which include addressing factors that incentivise corruption such as inappropriate regulatory frameworks, rent-seeking dispositions, among others, need to be initiated and promoted.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132332734","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}

NSSO unit level data and the PLFS data have been used for the period 2004–05 to 2017–18. Besides performing trend analysis, econometric analysis was carried-out to identify the determinants of employment. Evidence reveals that the employment avenues generated by non-farm sectors (industry and services) during the reference period remained insufficient to absorb the workforce leaving agriculture sector. Thus, a massive employment loss has been observed in the recent decade, and youth in the state remained the worst sufferer. The sub-sectors that have experienced absolute decline in employment include food & other products, textile products, wood & paper, metals & plastic, electronics, electrical medical machinery in case of manufacturing sector and transport, health and education and other services in the tertiary sector. Accordingly, unemployment in Punjab in general and youth in particular reached above the national average. This article draws some implications caused by rising unemployment in the state.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124750008","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 expansion of MT at an unprecedented rate has given rise to a number of ethical concerns in both home and destination countries. Ethical debates in this field have transcended the realm of global public health and have emerged across various disciplines including development, social justice, legal, trade and policy studies. Much of the academic literature in these domains has categorically held MT responsible for commodification of healthcare, creating a duality in healthcare systems of developing countries and making healthcare inaccessible and unaffordable for the disadvantaged sections of the population. While all these claims normatively seem justified, this article asserts that despite the several ethical concerns that have been raised, MT may not necessarily exacerbate healthcare equity issues in developing countries. In fact, MT may benefit destination countries by creating a highly specialised private sector which may provide services not only to foreign patients but also to wealthier domestic patients. Voluntary opting-out of domestic patients from public healthcare will result in decongestion of public healthcare facilities, which in turn could be accessed to a greater extent by the underprivileged population at affordable cost. In addition to contributing to the limited academic literature on this particular aspect of MT, this article presents an alternate view to promote MT in developing countries from the perspective of addressing challenges related to healthcare access.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"265 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122109135","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}
