Archit Basu Guha-ChoudhuryMainstreaming Time Use Surveys in National Statistical System in India
Indira Hirway Time use surveys are emerging as an important data set at the global level. It is now widely recognised that these data help in understanding the different socio-economic problems faced by economies, and are important, particularly for developing countries, as some of their major concerns can be understood well only through time use statistics. The pilot time use survey, conducted by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation in 1998-99, has paved the way for mainstreaming this survey in our national statistical system. This paper discusses why and how the process started in 1998-99 needs to be carried forward. View Full ArticleCurrent Issue : VOL 44 No. 49 December 05 - December 11, 2009 See Full Contents>>

The Maoists have now gone back to the people to launch a mass protest movement. As the contradictions intensify, will there be a takeover of power by the president with the backing of the army, akin to a Bangladeshi-type coup? Will there be an Indonesia-like massacre of the Maoists, as some fear? Or, will a national government led by Maoists materialise? View Full ArticleMaoists and the Poor: Against Democracy?
Saroj GiriSections of the left do not want to intensify the political struggle of the poorest of the poor, but to – in one way or the other – revert to bourgeois "democracy", which is nothing but an instrument of class rule. The mantra seems to be to critique the present system without breaking with it in any fundamental way, and yet, condemn the Maoists as undemocratic. View Full Article
