Women, Health and Public Services in India: Why are states different? de Dipa Sinha

Women, Health and Public Services in India: Why are states different?: Critical Political Economy of South Asia

Autor Dipa Sinha
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2016
Why are inter-state differences in human development in India so high? What explains regional patterns where overall the southern region has some of the best human development outcomes in the country while the states in the northern ‘heartland’ have the worst? In addressing these important questions, this volume provides a detailed analysis of health outcomes in India, especially its effects on women. It offers insights into how multiple factors affecting human development, in particular health, play out differently in various socio-cultural and economic contexts.
This book will interest scholars and researchers of sociology, development studies, gender studies, economics, public policy as well as general readers.

Recenzii

"The contrast in social development between Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is as sharp as it is intriguing. Through this prism, Dipa Sinha’s insightful study sheds light on many critical aspects of India’s development." — Jean Drèze, Development Economist and Visiting Professor, Ranchi University, Jharkhand, India
"This book is a must for policy makers, public administrators and community workers. Sinha brilliantly unpackages state performance and highlights … the vital importance of women’s freedom, state capacity, public accountability, and intra-family as well as community relationships in promoting human development." — A. K. Shiva Kumar, Economist and Policy Advisor, New Delhi, India
