Social Institutions, Identities, and Women’s Labor Force Participation
Published in , 2009
This study explores the effect of social institutions such as religion, caste/denomination/sect within religious groups, and the household on women’s decision to participate in the labor force. The southwestern Indian state of Kerala offers a diverse sociocultural setting to analyze this. Using data from two rounds of the Kerala Migration Survey (KMS) - 2013 and 2018, the study finds that the more educated a woman is, the less likely she is to be gainfully employed. Moreover, the effect of the dominant culture of the region on women’s labor force participation is particularly strong in Malabar where the social norms of the Sunni Muslim sect permeate across religious groups. The study also finds evidence of an economic crisis dismantling long-standing cultural influences that kept Muslim women from participating in the labor force thereby enabling such participation in the latter period of the study.

Multigenerational Persistence and The Great Gatsby Relation for India
Published in Journal 1, 2020
Extant literature on multigenerational mobility in India establishes the existence of a ‘grandfather effect’. By using distinct models to measure intergenerational and multigenerational educational persistence, this paper contends that this effect can be direct, indirect, or non-existent depending on the identity group - caste or religion - to which the family belongs. The study also finds evidence for differences in persistence due to regional factors. This paper is also the first to develop an identification strategy for multigenerational mobility in India through the use of the abolition of untouchability in 1955 as an instrument for the father’s education. The study is the first to explore The Great Gatsby relation for regions within India using caste and religion-based identifiers. This study finds that the relation holds regardless of the identity group considered.
