NCAER - NATIONAL DATA INNOVATION CENTRE
Welcome to the sixth issue of GenderTalk from the NCAER-National Data Innovation Centre’s Gender Hub. In this issue, we focus on the complex realities of adolescence in India— a critical stage of human development when the pressure on young girls and boys to conform to culturally prescribed gender roles intensifies, shaping their experiences and future trajectories.
The IHDS Forum is a monthly update of socio-economic developments in India by the IHDS research community, based on the India Human Development Survey, jointly conducted by NCAER and the University of Maryland. While two earlier rounds of the survey were completed in 2004-05 and 2011-12, respectively. Fieldwork for the third round was undertaken in 2022-24 and the data is currently being cleaned and processed.
National Data Innovation Centre (NDIC), a part of the National Council of Applied Economic Research, seeks to build a community of scholars interested in the collection and analysis of survey data and contribute to the development of the field of survey methodology in India. NDIC seeks to develop a community of young scholars through a year-long non-residential fellowship program.
Key output of this program will be a high-quality measurement brief that will address some domains of human development, broadly defined.
Mr Suman Bery addressed first NDIC early career scholars meeting.
