Obesity: America’s number one export? (The Diplomat) 

June 25, 2020


The Diplomat (India) published an op-ed by M Niaz Asadullah and Research Fellow Kalyani Raghunathan stressed that women who make up much of “Vulnerable employment,” have been hit the hardest during the pandemic. Many women are at risk of a permanent exit from the labor market. The authors recommend three policy measures that can help women as the Indian economy prepares to open further. First is restoring pre-existing health services and social safety net schemes for women and adolescent girls. Second is creating new institutional provisions that leverage women’s empowerment at the community level. Third, is implementing evidence-based recovery policy that uses gender-disaggregated data on employment and health impacts to guide decisions.
