ISBN: 9781138479586 出版年：2018 页码：204 Dayabati Roy Taylor & Francis

In comparison to other social groups, india's rural poor - and particularly adivasis and dalits - have seen little benefit from the country's economic growth over the last three decades. Though economists and statisticians are able to model the form and extent of this inequality, their work is rarely concerned with identifying possible causes. Employment, poverty and rights in india analyses unemployment in india and explains why the issues of employment and unemployment should be the appropriate prism to understand the status of wellbeing in india. The author provides a historical analysis of policy interventions on behalf of the colonial and postcolonial state with regard to the alleviation of unemployment and poverty in india and in west bengal in particular. Arguing that, as long as poverty - either as a concept or as an empirical condition - remains as a technical issue to be managed by governmental technologies, the `poor' will be held responsible for their own fate and the extent of poverty will continue to increase.
