This book examines the development experience in the northeastern region in India in relation to the processes of globalisation and liberalisation of the economy. Bringing together researchers and scholars, from both within and outside the region, the volume offers a comprehensive and updated analysis of governance and development issues in relation to the northeastern economy. With its multidisciplinary approaches, the chapters cover a variety of sectors and concerns such as land, agriculture, industry, infrastructure, finance, human development, human security, trade and policy.This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of economics, public policy, governance and development, geopolitics, geography, development studies, politics and sociology of development and area studies as well as observers and policymakers interested in the Northeast.

As the Indian economy integrates into global circuits of production, exchange and accumulation, the burdens of adjustment are shared unequally by different sectors, classes and regions. This study unravels the livelihood strategies and living conditions of labour in the tea gardens of Assam. The tea sector has been undergoing a crisis since the 1990s, with stagnant production, decline in exports, and closures of many tea gardens leading to large-scale retrenchments in the labour force. Based on a detailed analysis of secondary data and primary field research, the study examines the extent, types and implications of inter-generational occupational mobility (or immobility) among tea garden labourers in Assam. In the process, it reflects on how even a sector that had brought capital and labour from outside and contributed significantly to the country’s export earnings failed to create dynamic growth linkages within the local economy. The experience of the labour force in the Assam tea sector, the authors argue, is important for making sense not only of the development dynamics of the region, but of the contradictory ways in which forces of globalisation and neo-liberal reforms have been reshaping the worlds of labourers in the margins. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, development studies, management studies, and studies of north-east India, as well as to policy-makers and those in the tea industry.

This book consisting of 24 chapters provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of women’s work in India. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary data sources it offers fresh perspectives on long-term patterns and emerging trends. It sheds light on trends in gender equality in employment, the stubbornly low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), the continued invisibility of women’s work, and the shortcomings of official labour force surveys in capturing women’s economic contributions. It also explores gendered labour market barriers linked to caregiving responsibilities, social group identities, and the high unemployment rates among educated women. Several chapters address persistent issues of discrimination and inequality, including how rising educational attainment among women has shaped labour market outcomes.It critically assesses the growing sectors of childcare and gig work, often viewed as potential pathways to better-paid employment for women, highlighting both their opportunities and limitations. Further, the book provides the policy measures required to enhance women’s labour participation; challenges specific to urban contexts and key policies related to public employment and social protection for women.This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, civil society organisations, development practitioners, and policymakers working on women’s employment. It is equally relevant for educators and students in gender studies, labour economics, employment research, and development studies.
