Ideas for India for more evidence based policy
2020
Workshop Report
Gender Responsive Governance
In September 2019, the International Growth Centre (IGC) organised a panel discussion in New Delhi to bring together experts to deliberate on the evidence around the causes of low female labour force participation, the drivers of rural-urban migration, and policy opportunities for skills development and the creation of ‘good’ jobs in India. The panellists included Farzana Afridi (Indian Statistical Institute), Clément Imbert (University of Warwick), Purva Khera (International Monetary Fund), and Subhalakshmi Nandi (International Center for Research on Women). The session was chaired by Yamini Atmavilas (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).
