A new Sociology of Development Policy Brief is out! Volume 5, Issue 4 (2020) is: “Ease of Transportation and Women’s Employment in India” by Lei Lei (Rutgers University), Sonalde Desai (University of Maryland), and Reeve Vanneman (University of Maryland).

Also, here is a message from our Policy Brief editor Alaka Basu:

Here  is the fourth of the 2020 series of Policy Briefs being edited by me for the Sociology of Development section of ASA.

The policy brief is titled: “Ease of Transportation and Women’s Employment in India” by Lei Lei, Sonalde Desai, and Reeve Vanneman (2020, vol 5, iss. 4)

I welcome expressions of interest to contribute. While I am open to any ideas you have, your pitch should ideally include a reference to something you have published on the subject, so that we can assume a base level of peer reviewing of the material.

Thanks again,
