Discrimination and exclusion in the process of capability formation
and the labor market transcend the boundaries of the current
generation and spill over to successive generations as well. Though
a plethora of work has been done at the international level, the
area has not been the focus of Indian economic research despite
social exclusion and disparity having been quite substantial in
India, especially the division along caste lines. The book
addresses this research gap and explores the issue of
intergenerational mobility across different social classes in the
Indian context, analyzing the spheres of both education and
occupation. We contend that parental education and occupation have
a significantly greater impact on educational attainment and
occupational choice for socially excluded groups compared to the
advanced groups. In the labor market, intergenerational mobility is
low and most of it is lateral and not vertical, increasing the
possibility of discrimination in the labor market. This book
highlights the fact that the long history of social exclusion has
had a lasting effect and it is very difficult to come out of this
inertia.
