NCAER - NDIC recently organised Gender Conclave in partnership with @c3_india, Nous Consultants, @PopFoundIndia, @SEWABharat, & The World Bank. Nearly 70 public intellectuals informally discussed and deliberated the transformation of women’s lives and its impact on public policy.
@subarna_behenji 's first paper (with me) is online now in the @JPopEcon. We estimate the impact of a CCT program on women's empowerment. The program aims to improve enrollment in the education of young girls and reduce underage marriage.
