“…In the same conversation, another young man remarked that: “If you have learned everything you need to know to become an engineer you do not carry bricks”—referring to divisions of labour on building sites as well as how he has attempted to reposition himself within those divisions of labour. These statements are reminiscent of the young people in Jeffrey et al.’s (2008) and Jaju’s (2018) studies, who insisted on the social and cultural value of their education credentials despite being unemployed (Deuchar 2014). But more pertinently for my purposes, they reveal how young men imbue skills associated with white collar work with values that are considered superordinate to more precarious and less credentialed forms of labour (Jeffrey and Young 2014; Young et al.…”

This article critiques productivist and wage‐centric conceptualisations of labour by analysing the labouring practices of jobless degree holders in the Indian Himalayas. I draw on ethnographic material to illuminate how young men developed forms of unpaid labour that centred skills associated with their educational credentials. Educated youth were able to produce positive reputations through their labour and made sense of their activities as making a social contribution to others. Yet their labouring practices also affirmed dominant modes of masculinity and reinscribed patriarchal gender relations. While jobless degree holders were excluded from the kinds of jobs they desired, I argue that they were able to yield status and respect by embodying competencies that white collar jobs demanded. Situating jobless degree holders within productive relations creates scope for illuminating how they attempt to assert their productive capacities in the face of long‐term unemployment.

“…Effective institutional policies play a prominent role in the development of madrasa education and government support. Jaju (2018), investigated the cultural implications among the madrasa students of India and West Bengal with effective government support. Madrasas are prominently reformed with the aim of social change which is manufactured through government support and he moderating effect of institutional policies.…”

Recently, Madrasa education development, especially in Islamic countries like Indonesia, has become a significant issue that needs the attention of academic and regulators alike. Therefore, the present research examines the impact of government support and human resource (HR) improvement on Madrasa education development in Indonesia. The researchers also investigate the moderating role of institutional policies among the nexus of government support, HR improvement and Madrasa education development in Indonesia. The researchers have followed the primary data collection approach using questionnaires for data collection from the selected respondents. The present article also uses the smart-PLS to evaluate the relations among variables and the validity of the constructs. The results indicate that government support and HR improvement have a positive association with Madrasa education development in Indonesia. The results also revealed that institutional policies significantly moderate among the nexus of government support, HR improvement and Madrasa education development in Indonesia. These outcomes are meaningful for the Madrasa developing and regulating authorities while formulating rules and regulations regarding Madrasa education development in the country. Keywords: Government support, human resource (HR) improvement, Madrasa education development, institutional policies
