How Gender Figures in Economic Theorising and Philosophy

Women's engagement with economics, in its theory and its practice, takes several forms: to draw attention to problems not addressed before; to point out how the way problems have been addressed are unhelpful or fallacious and lead to wrong conclusions and wrong prescriptions; to critique theories and tools in order to expose their inadequacy or invalidity; to refine existing tools using available frameworks so as to 'let in' gender; and to seek new tools of analysis. The engagement can also be at a more philosophical level, namely, the foundational assumptions of the discipline. This paper seeks to explore these themes.

In other sectors, inspite of there being a rise in the incremental capital-output ratios, the overall capital-output structure remained largely unchanged.  The introduction of modern production techniques, which require proportionately greater capital, was the main feature of the development of the Indian economy during: the decade, 1950-60.
