Women, Health and Public Services in India : Why are states different?, Hardback Book

Women, Health and Public Services in India : Why are states different? Hardback

Part of the Critical Political Economy of South Asia series

Hardback

Description

Why are inter-state differences in human development in India so high?

What explains regional patterns where overall the southern region has some of the best human development outcomes in the country while the states in the northern ‘heartland’ have the worst?

In addressing these important questions, this volume provides a detailed analysis of health outcomes in India, especially its effects on women.

It offers insights into how multiple factors affecting human development, in particular health, play out differently in various socio-cultural and economic contexts.

This book will interest scholars and researchers of sociology, development studies, gender studies, economics, public policy as well as general readers.
