Published By: Institue of Human Development | Published Date: January, 01 , 2012

This paper focuses on the economic activity and the work status of men, women and children in rural Bihar. It uses data from surveys carried out in 36 villages under the research programme, Aiming at Inclusive Development in Bihar—The Dynamics of Change over Thirty Years (1980–2010) and the Emerging Policy Framework—of the Institute for Human Development, New Delhi. The villages had been originally surveyed by researchers from the A.N. Sinha Institute, Patna, and the International Labour Organisation in 1981 .The same villages were resurveyed by IHD in 1998-2000, and again in 2009-11.
