This book details the concept, theory, and measurement of “human wellbeing,” in general, with a focus on university students in India. It investigates the experiences and correlates of wellbeing of Indian undergraduate students with the aim of enabling policymakers to plan and implement policies in the pursuit of a better quality of university life for students.The book analyses the status and experience of wellbeing of university students in a holistic manner by studying the various dimensions of their wellbeing. It identifies the areas of deficiency and addresses the issues of unrest faced by them. The framework encompasses six dimensions of student wellbeing, namely educational wellbeing, perceived economic wellbeing, health wellbeing, social wellbeing, wellbeing in the personal domain and factors contributing to psychological distress (a negative indicator). It examines the differences in the status of wellbeing with respect to their gender, place of origin and the social groups they belong to. It proposes recommendations to strengthen their wellbeing and presents a roadmap suggesting further scope of research in this area.This volume will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers of psychology, social psychology, sociology, mental health and wellbeing and economic psychology. It will also be useful to policymakers, counsellors, psychologists, academicians and those interested in wellbeing in general.

This book offers a wide, in-depth study of the gender-climate change-agriculture nexus. The crux of understanding these connections comprises gender equality and tools to measure gender discrimination, the evolution of the concept of gender inclusiveness and its concerns; and the need to address the same by formulating gender-inclusive policymaking. Despite the fact that more than 50 years have elapsed since gender concerns were included in explorations of this nexus, there is still ambiguity around the foundations, connections, and approaches for planning gender-inclusive climate policies. This book aims to clear that ambiguity by: · Being the first to explore exclusively this issue in detail. · Revealing how and why consideration of gender is so important for understanding how climate change impacts rural communities and agricultural systems globally. · Exploring every dimension of climate change (including belief systems and perceptions, knowledge, experience, coping strategies, adaptation, and mitigation strategies) and linking it to gender. It includes new theoretical and methodological approaches that go far beyond the household as the unit of analysis (using various approaches, including intersectional analysis). The book not only throws light on major themes of research, but also covers different methodologies ranging from review methods to mathematical models, conceptual frameworks and empirical analysis. It will be of wide interest to students, scholars, and researchers in gender studies, agriculture, climate change and rural development research, and also to practitioners, extension workers, and planners designing new climate-resilient practices.

This book introduces readers to the concept and theories of decent work and provides a framework for measuring it at the micro, meso and macro level in a given country. Further, it addresses the importance of measuring decent work in today’s world and in connection with the different challenges countries face depending on their respective stage of development. The essence of the book lies in highlighting the practical applications of decent work in terms of its ability to deliver empirical measurements of qualitative and subjective phenomena with a mixed-methods approach combining tools and techniques from economics and statistics. Moreover, as the applicability of decent work is not confined to the IT industry and formal sectors of the economy, the book also provides useful guidelines on how further empirical studies can be undertaken to measure decent work in non-IT industries. As such, the book offers a rich compilation of empirical and theoretical contributions ondecent work designed to not only enrich readers’ understanding, but also promote awareness of the practical relevance and technical aspects of the subject matter.

This book provides useful insights into quality issues in secondary education in India and addresses the important questions of why there is need to improve the quality of education; how one can measure the quality of education; and the ways to improve quality. The analysis in this book is conceptually designed at three levels: national level performance and linkages; state level progress, disparities and linkages; and determinants of quality education at school level for measuring students learning outcomes and efficient teaching practices. The authors have used both quantitative and qualitative methods to probe into the various issues related to the quality of secondary education at micro and macro levels. This book provides a methodological framework to scholars attempting to measure and evaluate the quality of secondary education under various settings. It provides interesting insights into the identification of factors determining quality outcomes. The chapters discussissues related to quality concepts, research methodologies, comparative analysis, key challenges, socio-economic linkages of secondary education, quality of education from students' and teachers' perspectives, quality measurement and policy suggestions. This is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the area of economics of education, education planning and administration, development studies and economics. This book is also useful for educational administrators and policy makers.

Transplantation in South Asia faces unique immunological challenges, yet comprehensive data on genetic and epigenetic factors in the region remains sparse. This ground-breaking book addresses the critical need for a uniform approach to the immunological workup of transplant recipients and donors, tailored specifically for one of the world’s highest-volume transplantation regions.Drawing on insights from renowned immunologists, transplant physicians, and surgeons, the book provides an in-depth exploration of immune signatures in South Asian populations. It offers actionable guidance to optimize donor-recipient matching and minimize immune system activation during and after transplantation.Through a practical, case-based approach, the book delves into real-world immunological challenges and solutions, covering key topics such as immunosuppressive strategies for children, adults, older patients, and women with prior sensitization. Each chapter is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the tools to address complex scenarios with confidence.With over 650 transplantation centers in India alone, this essential resource is invaluable for trainees, nurses, technicians, and all members of the transplant team seeking to enhance their understanding of immunology in transplantation.
