Caste and Religion-Based Wage Discrimination in the Indian Private Sector: Evidence from the Indian Human Development Survey
Published in The Review of Black Political Economy, 2016
Using data from the IHDS, we examine evidence of caste and religion-based discrimination in the Indian private sector compared with the public sector for both Dalits and Adivasis. This is result of affirmative action policies in the government institutions, and arise the question if similar affirmative action should be implemented in the private sector?
