Occupational Choices, Networks, and Transfers: An Exegesis on Micro Data from Delhi Slums
Exploring the economic strategies of low-income individuals from the slums of new Delhi, India, Mitra (Institute of Economic Growth, India) examines networks and transfers based on altruism or mutual aid as central coping mechanisms in the economic life of India's urban poor. Based on data collected from a 1999-2000 "micro survey," he looks at occupations, earnings, and standards of living; he argues that the poor depend on rational economic strategies and that upward mobility corresponds with length of tenure in the city.
