    (Educational Quest, 2016-08) Shukla, Tanu
    This study attempts to map two of the most vital social processes among children in the contexts of Slum. The two social processes being working and Learning; without violating the legislative frameworks on child labour, children working inside the household as domestic labour or in the household enterprise is a dominant phenomenon in the urban centers observed among those whose household income is derived from the informal sector and have lower income levels. The working forms and time vary from context to context. Due to the enormity of the informal sector in India and efforts to curb the exploitation of children due to labour, focus inlaid on making and implementation of social policy addressing child labour. In this light, this study tries to study the nature and forms of work undertaken by children in the slum, which inhabits a significant percentage of urban population. These working processes, although well in legal bounds, are yet observed to affect the education of the child, thereby highlighting the graveness of the problem even in legitimized forms. Educational outcomes are chosen as a tangible indicator to make sense of the learning process occurring in the child. This study highlights how various components that constitute educational outcomes are affected by the work undertaken by the child.

    Women at the Threshold of Globalization
    (Sage, 2016-05) Shukla, Tanu
    The book provides a unique angle by highlighting inexplicit, relatively less well-known and non-technological perceptions of globalisation. The various dimensions of globalisation have been explored by examining the popular perceptions of globalisation that accelerated the transformation of capital across national boundaries since the 1980s. In this context, Pani and Singh make a sincere effort to examine the transformation of the women workers and offer a detailed understanding of the institutions and processes outside the workplace that these women encounter. The exploration is based on the field study methods; the life of women workers in Bangalore’s garment export industry is closely surveyed to reveal the multiple boundaries of dress, village and workplace as a part of their daily life. Negotiating these boundaries comprise an integral part of coping with globalisation for the women workers. This book attempts to address the question regarding the dynamics beyond the boundaries of the ‘command and control centre view’ of globalisation that influence the path adopted by this process. To go about this justifiably, the authors employed stratified cluster sampling method. By taking random samples from these stratified categories, 811 workers were interviewed at their respective workplaces through a structured questionnaire and open-ended discussions. Since the information collected went beyond the workers to their families and households as well, the authors indirectly acquired information about 5,466 individuals. This evidence was critically analysed to illustrate a worker in Bangalore home and the multiple identities of a woman she cultivates. The authors go beyond standard data analysis and paint a vivid picture of the women’s workers’ lives by actually putting themselves in the position of the people being studied

Based on thorough analysis, the oppressed capabilities are conceptualized thereby enabling the researchers to relocate the gender equality and the capabilities that need to be enriched for women can be contemplated which helps in reducing the existing disparity. The intention of the study is essentially not to quantify the attributes of inequality to make them measurable but to choose attributes which enable an effective comparative basis to address inequality. The empirical study reveals an existence of the element of stereotyping as a single entity and capability approach restores the uniqueness by the fractional combination of capabilities listed.
