    How Much Do Old Age and Widow's Pensions Help the Poor in India?

    ESCAP SOUTH AND SOUTH-WEST ASIA OFFICE HOW MUCH DO SMALL OLD AGE PENSIONS AND WIDOWS’ PENSIONS HELP THE POOR IN INDIA? An ex-post evaluation of the National Social Assistance Programme and implications for its planned reform Christopher Garroway September 2013 DEVELOPMENT PAPERS 1306 PAPERS DEVELOPMENT South and South-West Asia O!ce How much do small old age pensions and widow’s pensions help the poor in India? An ex-post evaluation of the National Social Assistance Programme and implications for its planned reform Christopher Garroway1 ABSTRACT The National Social Assistance Programme consists of five social assistance transfers, which form the core of India’s fledgling minimum social protection floor. These transfers have been scaled up over the last decade and further steps will soon be taken towards their universalization with exclusion criteria. This paper provides a rigorous evaluation of two of the NSAP schemes, the old age pension and the widow’s pension. Using the 2005 Indian Human Development Survey data’s detailed information on household income and consumption expenditure, the paper measures the impact of the two pensions on household’s incomes, consumption and poverty status, using the propensity score matching estimator. The pensions are found to vary in their effectiveness given the wide diversity of recipients across income quintiles, spatial location, and social group. The widow’s pension is shown to reduce poverty among recipients by about 2.7 percentage points. Government attempts to target the pensions to poor households have been ineffective, and steps towards universalization may in fact improve the pensions’ effectiveness. 1 The author is an economist with the United Nations ESCAP South and South-West Asia Office in New Delhi, India.

    Final Thesis

    ADDRESSING INFORMATION ASYMMETRY IN THE SOCIAL CONTRACT: AN ARCHIVAL-DIPLOMATIC APPROACH TO OPEN GOVERNMENT DATA CURATION James Lowry A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Information Studies UCL London, UK 2019 1 Declaration of Originality I, James Lowry, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: James Lowry PhD candidate 2 Dedicated to William and Elaine Lowry 3 ABSTRACT This thesis shows that the concepts and practices developed in the field of record-keeping can be applied to the curation of open government data to strengthen the trustworthiness of that data. It begins by situating open government data in the context of the social contract, which operates through the exchange of information. The thesis develops the notions of the ‘record-as-command’ and ‘data-as-command’ to explain the dialogical but asymmetrical information relationship between the individual and the state, which is modelled as a principal-agent problem. Using concepts from information economics, the study argues that open government data is the latest monitoring mechanism in a long history of government secrecy and openness. This establishes the significance of the curation of open government data beyond technical questions. The thesis then considers how trustworthiness has figured in thinking about record-keeping, identifying three core record-keeping controls; 1) metadata used to document 2) custodianship in 3) auditable systems. To show how these three broad controls have been put into practice, the study examines two examples of record-keeping guidance, one for paper records and one for hybrid records, which demonstrates the application of the three core controls across time and media.

Introduction The increasing life expectancy coupled with the gradual disappearance of the extended family system, makes it imperative for India to design a robust pension system to avoid impoverishment in old-age and accompanying social distress. The current scenario in India is marked by low and insufficient pension coverage. Timely and smart policy interventions, when a majority of the Indian population is still young, can help avert an impending pension crisis. It is important for all the key stakeholders such as the government, regulators, employees and employers to engage in a focused and constructive discussion to explore new ways to broaden and deepen pension coverage in India.

  • Decentralisation and Urban Primary Health Services: a Case Study of Delhi’S Mohalla Clinics

    Decentralisation and Urban Primary Health Services: a Case Study of Delhi’S Mohalla Clinics

    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Decentralisation and urban primary health services: a case study of Delhi’s Mohalla Clinics Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 23: 2020 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Sejal Patel Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected]. Priyankita Pant Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected] Abstract The Indian political party Aam Aadmi, which assumed power in the city-state of Delhi in 2015, introduced Mohalla Clinics (i.e. neighbourhood clinics) to provide free primary health services for all, as a response to the rising inaccessibility of primary healthcare facilities for the urban poor. These clinics were to be governed through Mohalla Sabhas (i.e. neighbourhood committees), which are instruments of participatory governance within the neighbourhood. The research compares promises and practice for Mohalla Clinics, especially focusing on governance and the politics surrounding it. The authors find that in their current form Mohalla Clinics are limited to providing primary curative healthcare and have shown limited success, although Mohalla Clinic users do save time and expenditure on primary healthcare, and the clinics have led to a more comprehensive form of primary healthcare than in the past. However, Mohalla Clinics are governed in a top-down fashion by the Government of the National Capital Territory-Delhi, and not by urban local bodies or the envisaged neighbourhood committees. As a result, they face problems that may inhibit their functioning in the long term.
