My interview with @ayesha_minhaz on my latest book on unconditional cash transfers to women in India @LawsOfSocialRep
NEW | "My 'Wages for Housework' book talks about how in the Indian context, where the gender division of labour is so heavily entrenched, the idea would be to economically recognise women's unpaid work with the view to reject it and to redistribute it with men."
Professor Prabha Kotiswaran (@pkotiswaran) tells @ayesha_minhaz.

NEW | FRONTLINE CONVERSATIONS🎙️
Cash transfers to women are often dismissed as election-time freebies. In this episode, Prabha Kotiswaran (@pkotiswaran) argues that cash transfers are redistributive and an economic recognition of women's unpaid work. She offers insights from schemes in Goa, Assam, and West Bengal.
