NCAER - NATIONAL DATA INNOVATION CENTRE
Debasis Barik is a Senior Fellow, at the NCAER National Data Innovation Centre. He is a demographer by training with a specialization in economic demography and ageing. He has worked on public health, migration, gender, and intergenerational well-being. However, more than a decade of work at NCAER has diversified his research career, now spanning the intersection of demography, economics, and human development. Dr. Barik’s current research focuses broadly on the adaptation process of Indian households to environmental threats.
In recent years, Dr. Barik has focused extensively on the design and implementation of large household surveys. As a member of the core team for the India Human Development Survey – Wave 3, he has helped design questions slated to be administered to nearly 50,000 households nationwide, taking into account the geographical and cultural diversity of India. He has also developed tools for remote monitoring of data and quality control.
His research has been published in journals of global repute, including World Development, Feminist Economics, and Health Economics. He has served on the expert group of National Health Accounts (NHA), formed by the National Health System Resource Centre (NHSRC), Government of India, to institutionalize the NHA estimates annually. He also contributes opinion articles to English language dailies.
