Working paper Determinants and Forecasting of Female Labour Force Participation Rate in India: Testing of Feminization U hypothesis 

Rami, Gaurang (kassel university press, 2020-06)
Greater involvement of women within the labour force has economic and social impact. The Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) for India remains appallingly low at around 27%, while the male labour force participation rate has been 79.9%. In India, during 1990–2016, the FLFPR (% of female population age 15+) showed a declining trend. In this paper, the determinants of FLFPR for India have been estimated using regression analysis for the time period 1990–2016. Data on all the relevant variables have ...

Working paper Opportunities and constraints of peri-urban buffalo and dairy cattle systems in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan 

Hagmann, Jonas (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
In the big cities of Pakistan, peri-urban dairy production plays an important role for household income generation and the supply of milk and meat to the urban population. On the other hand, milk production in general, and peri-urban dairy production in particular, faces numerous problems that have been well known for decades. Peri-urban dairy producers have been especially neglected by politicians as well as non-government-organizations (NGOs). Against this background, a study in Pakistan’s third largest city, ...

Working paper Work and economic security in the 21st century 

Webster, Edward (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2011-02)
In recent decades there has been a transformation of two central concepts of modernity – labour and the household. Ela Bhatt – the founder of the Self-Employed Women’s Association of India (SEWA), has made an important contribution to this transformation. Through the emergence of unions such as SEWA, the notion of who represents labour is being broadened; the marginalised are finding an institutional voice. Increasingly, the household is being recognised as a site of both production and reproduction. SEWA is ...

Working paper Social Inequality and Social Policy outside the OECD 

Burchardt, Hans-Jürgen; Weinmann, Nico (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
Almost all Latin American countries are still marked by extreme forms of social inequality – and to an extent, this seems to be the case regardless of national differences in the economic development model or the strength of democracy and the welfare state. Recent research highlights the fact that the heterogeneous labour markets in the region are a key source of inequality. At the same time, there is a strengthening of ‘exclusive’ social policy, which is located at the fault lines of the labour market and is ...

Working paper Core Labor Rights 

Sinaga, Hariati; Scherrer, Christoph (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
The working paper’s main objective is to explore the extent to which non-compliance to international labor rights is caused by global competition. From the perspective of institutional economics, compliance with core labor rights is beneficial for sustainable development. Nonetheless, violations of these rights occur on a massive scale. The violators usually blame competitive pressures. A number of studies have come to the conclusion that non-compliance does not provide for a competitive edge, thereby denying ...

Working paper Together? 

Marchetti, Sabrina (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
This paper explores the relationship between migrant leaders and labour rights activists starting with the acknowledgment that this is often a source of frustration for all subjects involved. The collaboration between organisations of migrants and those of workers is not always smooth and truly collaborative, yet foreign workers have an increasing importance in the negotiation of better labour rights in Europe. The topic is discussed by taking the case of migrant domestic labour in Italy and the experience ...

Working paper Decent work? 

Aufderheide, Mareike; Voigts, Clemens; Hülsebusch, Christian; Kaufmann, Brigitte (ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2013-03)
Pastoralism and ranching are two different rangeland-based livestock systems in dryland areas of East Africa. Both usually operate under low and irregular rainfall and consequently low overall primary biomass production of high spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Both are usually located far from town centres, market outlets and communication, medical, educational, banking, insurance and other infrastructure. Whereas pastoralists can be regarded as self-employed, gaining their livelihood from managing their ...
