Corporate Manslaughter in India: Bridging Legal Gaps with Governance Mechanisms
No full textMany countries, including India, are dealing with the tragic reality of workplace fatalities which constitute corporate manslaughter. In recent years, there has been increased concern about the snowballing incidence of fatalities in Indian workplaces, emphasising the critical need for effective preventive measures. Corporate negligence and a lack of responsibility have emerged as major contributing factors to workplace fatalities. Furthermore, corporate entities, frequently motivated by profit, may prioritise productivity over safety, resulting in dangerous working conditions and deadly incidents. In response to these problems, regulatory supervision and corporate governance procedures are critical for maintaining worker safety and well-being. The goal of this study is to critically evaluate the efficacy of preventive strategies for reducing corporate manslaughter events in India, with a particular emphasis on regulatory supervision and corporate governance. It also aims to provide significant insights into improving workplace safety and corporate accountability by examining the relationship between regulatory supervision, corporate governance practices, and their impact on corporate manslaughter prevention

Do Time-Use Surveys Give a Higher Estimate of Women in Economic Activity?
No full textHow accurately do we measure women\u27s economic activity and how can the measurement be improved? Traditional Labour Force Surveys (LFS) often falls short, especially in rural areas, by overlooking activities such as livestock rearing, firewood collection, and unpaid work in self employment. Why? These surveys rely on narrow definitions that don’t include the full range of women’s contributions, and they often reinforce biases rooted in social norms - that women are primarily identified with household chores and child care. Enter the 2019 Time Use Survey (TUS). Unlike standard surveys, TUS asked people to track all their daily activities without labeling them as economic or not. By using this approach, TUS captured a more comprehensive picture of women’s activities. For instance, when the survey data was used to expand the definition of economic activity to include primary production activities, such as farming and construction for own use, the percentage of rural women identified as economically active jumped from 20.8% in the LFS to a striking 32%. This jump highlights the critical importance of capturing all economic activities for women, particularly in rural communities where such contributions are indispensable
