Decoding the Recent Rise in Women’s Work Participation by Avanindra Nath Thakur and Priyanshi Chaudhary

Indian Journal of Labour Economics , December 2025

Low and declining female workforce participation has remained a critical challenge for policymakers in India. However, during the post-COVID-19 period, there was an improvement in the female workforce participation rate in both rural and urban areas. The rise was more prominent during 2023–24. Such a rise attracted significant debates around the working conditions of female employment in the country. In this light, this paper, based on unit-level Periodic...

Investigating the Role of Development in Financial Markets and Institutions on Low-Carbon Energy Strategy in India by Priyanka Bose, Bamadev Mahapatra and Saswat Kishore Mishra

Natural Resources Forum , December 2025

One of India's strategic goals is to boost the country's use of renewable energy; however, limited empirical insight exists on how the financial sector influences this transition. This study explores the intricate relationship between financial development and renewable energy generation, focusing on the differentiated roles of financial institutions and financial markets in India. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)...

Exploitation, Interlinked Transactions and Agrarian Class Relations in Uttar Pradesh, India by Shinu Varkey

Journal of Agrarian Change, December 2025

A striking feature of rural markets in underdeveloped agrarian economies is interlinked transactions, where two or more interdependent exchanges are simultaneously agreed upon across different markets. In contemporary India, even as the capitalist relations of production are dominant, there are still regions where interlinkages play a major role in defining the class relations, which in turn influence their agricultural development. This paper analyses the nature of interlinked transactions in Eastern and Bundelkhand regions of Uttar Pradesh...

Two Regimes of Waste and Value: ‘Post-Disaster’ Landscapes in a New India by Vasudha Chhotray and David Singh

Development and Change, December 2025

In this age of ‘disaster capitalism’, catastrophes are neither ‘natural’ nor ‘external’. They are political events mediating and vitally shaping the unequal and exploitative use of environmental resources. India's ‘post-disaster’ landscapes at the turn of the new millennium powerfully demonstrate how visions of the new-normal can be imposed in the aftermath of a catastrophe by indomitable state–capital alliances. Insidious ideas of entrepreneurship and a muscular Hindutva-tinged liberalization have served...

The Spillover Effect of US-China Tension on India's Medium-High-Tech Manufacturing Exports: Exploring the Role of Export Market Diversification by Himanshu Sekhar Panda and Mantu Kumar Mahalik

Journal of Public Affairs, December 2025

Rising US-China tensions can significantly reshape the worldwide trade dynamics by disrupting established supply chains. Addressing this, this study explores the impact of US-China tension on India's medium-high-tech manufacturing exports by obtaining time series data from India spanning 1997 to 2022. This study also examines the behavior of export market diversification on medium-high-tech manufacturing exports, in the presence of US-China tension. To measure these relationships...

Socioeconomic Impacts of India's Rural Job Guarantee Program: Evidence From MGNREGA by Muhammed Rafi, Salu Prasad and Mohemmad Naseef

Journal of Public Affairs, December 2025

As the world's largest employment guarantee scheme, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) serves as a crucial policy experiment in addressing rural poverty and unemployment. While studies have examined its varied impacts on asset creation, financial inclusion, and women's empowerment, a comprehensive understanding of its socioeconomic effects at the household and community levels remains crucial for evaluating such large-scale public employment programs...

Data-Driven Prediction of Climate Variables in Agricultural Cities of India With Hybrid GA-TCN-LSTM Model by Anil Utku

Journal of Forecasting, December 2025

Accurate prediction of climate variables is important in reducing the effects of natural disasters and taking preventive measures for agriculture and food security, energy sector, public health, and water resources management. For agricultural production, it is essential for producers to determine strategies for their agricultural activities and to increase agricultural productivity. Issues such as determining planting and harvest times, determining pesticides to be used against agricultural pests, selecting products...
