Global capitalism made possible the expansion of economic processes that spread to all parts of the world and transformed many regions into economic areas reigned by the principle of free market. ASEAN integration facilitated such process in the region and as a consequence political and state boundaries do not only become porous but also transforms people and communities into either consuming subjects or commodities. Reviewing kinship mode of production as the characteristic nature of production systems of ASEAN communities, the paper argues for possible alternative production organizations and arrangements that are much more culturally attuned to traditional forms of economic life.
Child labour is not only detrimental to individual children, but also to the society,
community and the nation as it negatively affects the pace of economic growth by
preventing full realization of positive externalities associated with human capital
formation. It is also one of the major causes and consequences of poverty. Until early
1990, India had one of the highest incidences of child labour and out of school children
in the world. Following the launching of economic reforms, India’s economy started growing
at an accelerated rate in the post-reforms era, along with faster decline in the incidence
of poverty. In the post-reforms era, the state of India also launched a slew of policies
and programmes to eradicate child labour and to increase school enrolment in the country.
But, had there been a phenomenal decline in the incidence of child labour and ‘nowhere’
children in the country? Had there been a phenomenal increase in school enrolment and
decline in gender educational disparity in the post-reforms era in India? This article
addresses these issues.
Abstract:A slew of studies provide evidence that India's economy started growing at an accelerated rate consequent to the launch of reforms in the economy in early 1990s. But has favourable quantitative and qualitative changes occurred in the labour market consequent to the acceleration in the growth rate in the economy in the reforms era? This paper analyses the changes in India's labour market in the reforms era vis-à-vis the pre-reforms era by drawing on official data. Specifically, the paper seeks to capture changes in employment and unemployment, structural change in the labour market, changes in informal and formal employment, changes in real wage rates and incidence of working poor in the economy. The paper has also tried to examine the changing role of the state towards labour in the reforms era.
The Lewis base character of organomercury thiocyanates has been explored and few organometallic compounds we have study. Here we report the preparation and study of organometallic compound of general formula (RHgSCN) 2 M(NCS) 2 [R=P-Bromophenyl: M= Co (II). Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Mn (II)]. The complexes have been synthesized by reacting RHgSCN with M(NCS) 2 . These compounds also act as Lewis acids on account of unsaturation at M and at Hg. Due to this unsaturation they have been reacted with M I (Salpn) ]M I = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Salpn -=(C 17 H 16 N 2 O 2 )]. Structure of these complexes has been established on the basis of different physico-chemical methods.
