Show Notes In this conversation, Simon and Amitabh discuss the current state of the world characterized by a polycrisis, primarily driven by neoliberalism. They explore the implications of this crisis on civil society, the role of the left, and the importance of grassroots movements. The dialogue emphasizes the need for emotional engagement in advocacy and the potential for change through collective action and solidarity. Key Reflections We are facing a polycrisis that is a manifestation of neoliberalism. The current crisis is the biggest since World War II. Neoliberalism has shed its humane pretenses. The left has become too centrist and lacks radicalism. Grassroots movements are essential for systemic change. Civil society must focus on holding power accountable. Emotional engagement is crucial in advocacy work. Generational divides exist but are not the only factor in activism. International aid needs to be reimagined for effective collaboration. There is a growing quest for freedom and justice worldwide. Keywords polycrisis, neoliberalism, left politics, civil society, grassroots movements, international aid, activism, generational perspectives, emotional engagement, human dignity Brief Bio Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International, is a global civil society leader with decades of experience in human rights, economic inequalities, governance, and social justice.

India's festive season has prompted a surge in hiring of women for temporary jobs. But women still represent a small proportion of India's workforce. Experts say corporate India is paying more attention to diversity in the workplace, opening many opportunities for women employees, but numbers still remain worryingly low. India's overall joblessness is worrying: the country's unemployment rate has exceeded that of most emerging economies in recent years. Women also face enormous discrimination in the job market, and earn less than men even when they have the same qualifications and experience. How can Indian women get better, more equitable opportunities? And is it possible to have a more diverse employee pool in both formal and informal sectors? In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how can India add more women to its workforce.

Poverty does not happen by accident.To discuss related problems as well as solutions to reduce inequalities, we talked to ShankarVenkateswaran, Chair of Oxfam India and one of the founders of ECube InvestmentAdvisors, and Molly Harris Olson, CEO of Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand - whoillustrates what supply chain transformation might look like.

As the Budget season comes around, we're again hearing a lot about India's inequality problem.  However, this year, something has changed. For one, the numbers are staggering. They reflect how the Covid-19 pandemic has upended years of progress India had made in addressing this systemic problem.  In the latest round of the ICE 360 Survey 2022, conducted by the People Research on India's Consumer Economy, it was found that the annual income of the poorest 20% of Indian households -- which was constantly rising since 1995-- plunged 53% in the pandemic year 2020-21 from their levels in 2015-16. In the same five-year period, the richest 20% saw their annual household income grow 39%. India's K-shaped economic recovery is deepening the societal fault lines of income and expenditure. Automakers are beefing up their SUV portfolio but sales of two-wheelers are at their lowest in nine years. Attrition in Indian IT companies has meant a good placement season in colleges even amid the pandemic, but low-skilled labour is losing out on earnings because of the return of lockdowns and curfews in the big cities. “Only the rich can work-from-home,” is a common refrain of those on the lower-end of the income spectrum.  Oxfam India's report, titled ‘Inequality Kills', said the richest 98 Indians own the same wealth as the bottom 552 million people. In 2021, when India witnessed the devastating second wave of Covid-19, the country also added 40 new billionaires to take the country's tally to 142.  The Oxfam report points out some reasons explaining how the government's policies amid the pandemic exacerbated wealth inequality in India. Reduction in the corporate tax rate in 2019-20 from 30% to 22% led to a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh crore. During FY21, GST revenue, income tax and corporate tax collections declined. The government failed to meet its disinvestment target of Rs 2.1 lakh crore. And the Centre compensated this reduction in tax revenue through an increase in excise duties on petrol and diesel. The Centre earned nearly Rs 8.02 lakh crore from taxes on petrol and diesel during the last three fiscal years, of which more than INR 3.71 lakh crore was collected in FY21 alone. This led to an increase in the prices of essential commodities such as food grains and vegetables, which disproportionately affected the lower-middle class and the poor. “A 1% wealth tax on 98 richest billionaire families can finance the Ayushman Bharat scheme for more than SEVEN years OR the Department of School Education and Literacy of the Government of India for one year” reads the report Inequality Kills, India Supplement 2022, by Oxfam India To address this rise in inequality, experts have suggested reintroducing the wealth tax, which was abolished in 2016, or a one-time tax on the wealthy for Covid-19 economic recovery. A Business Standard editorial says low-skilled job creation, which can create employment for a low-skilled workforce, is the need of the hour. Given the government's minimal fiscal leg-room, institutions such as the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund and the development finance institution must be tapped for this purpose.  We spoke to Santosh Kumar Mehrotra, Professor of Economics, at, Jawaharlal Nehru University, to understand how India can address its inequality problem. He says, the government needs to take firm steps to increase jobs. A rise in non-farm jobs will see an increase in real wages. And without an increase in the labour force participation rate, the government cannot address the problem of poverty. Watch video

“Tax us now”, said no Indian billionaire ever! But with growing wealth inequality in the pandemic, and hundreds of the world's super rich asking to be taxed more, should wealth tax make a comeback in India? Kiran Somvanshi discusses with Morris Pearl, chair of Patriotic Millionaires, Amitabh Behra, CEO of Oxfam India and Hitesh Gajaria, partner at KPMG.

Titled ‘Inequality Kills', an Oxfam India report recently said that the country's richest families saw their wealth reach a record high in 2021, while 84% of Indian households saw an income decline during the pandemic. It is called K-shaped economic recovery, which suggests that the rich are getting richer but the poor are bearing the brunt of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic. This is affecting the purchasing power of those on the lower end of the spectrum.  So, apart from the gross domestic product or GDP -- which the RBI claims will grow at 9.5% in the fiscal year 2022 -- there are several proxy indicators which may tell us a lot about India's economic growth.  One such proxy indicator is the declining sales of two-wheelers. Notably, the sales of two-wheelers in 2021 plunged to their lowest in nine years.  The average inventory at dealerships currently stands at 50 days against the norm of 25-30 days.  Economists explain that around 80%-90% of two-wheeler buyers come from lower-income groups. So a protracted slowdown in the sales of such vehicles effectively puts the brakes on the economic recovery in rural India.  “Two-wheeler sales — a proxy of an economy's well-being — have been slipping for three years. The consecutive fall indicates that the economic growth, which has been slowing since FY18, is not equitable. The wage growth in rural India — where the majority of the two-wheelers are sold -- has been slowing down and hasn't kept pace with inflation,” said Devendra Pant, chief economist and head of public finance at India Ratings & Research. In fact, the prolonged impact of Covid-19 is being seen across vehicle segments.  In a recent virtual press conference, Kenichi Ayukawa, president, Siam, explained that in the quarter ended December 2021, passenger vehicle sales touched the lowest point in five years, two-wheelers the bottom in nine years, commercial vehicles (leaving aside 2020) the lowest in five years, and three-wheelers, the worst impacted, tanked to the lowest level in 13 years. The slowdown in the rural economy is largely to blame for the decline in auto sales.  The most impact is being felt in entry-level segments for both two-wheelers and passenger vehicles. On the other hand, automakers are planning a host of new launches in the premium SUV segment this year. The share of SUVs in the total PVs sold in India was 38% last year, compared to 29% in 2020 and just 16% back in 2016.  Coupled with the Index of Consumer Sentiments and the rate of employment, the trend in two-wheeler sales offers a useful commentary on India's unequal growth.  A recent Business Standard editorial also talked about the need to raise the tax-to-GDP ratio by 5% over time with corrective measures, such as removing tax deductions on investments for individual taxpayers.  Besides this, India needs to create a sufficiently large manufacturing base for labour-intensive products, which will help us create jobs at scale and improve income levels.  Watch video

As the World Economic Forum outlines its “Davos agenda” this week, international charity organisation Oxfam spotlights the inequalities that exist across the world. In its “Ïnequality kills” report, it calls for a tax on the super rich to fund public health programmes, for instance, among other social sectors. Oxfam India chief Amitabh Behar hopes, the pandemic “gives us a moment to take a pause and reboot ourselves, differently.“ Listen in! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/business-line/message

India is still struggling to put an end to child marriages in the 21st century. But is raising the minimum legal age of marriage for women the solution? Ever since the Centre indicated its intention, to raise the minimum age of marriage for women from 18 to 21 years of age, there has been a lot of conversation around this move. And now a year later, on Thurdsay, 16 December, the Union Cabinet has officially cleared the proposal. This has been done on the basis of recommendations from a special task force set up by the DCW. Although details of the panel's report isn't available in the public domain yet, the main rationale for this proposal has been to address the physiological and psychological issues that arise from child marriages in the form of early pregnancies, poor nutrition levels, high infant mortality rate, high maternal mortality rates, etc — all of which are ultimately deleterious for women's progress. While a lot of people have welcomed the move, the opinion is divided with some also cautioning that this decision could backfire. But what are the concerns here exactly? In what way can raising the minimum legal age of marriage backfire? In this episode, we'll take a full-rounded look at this proposal, the reasons behind it and also the criticisms against it.

Who make up the Indian newsrooms? Do journalists cover diverse voices?  Priyadharsini is the founder director of The Blue Club (TBC), a grassroots media organisation that amplifies stories of women from marginalised communities and the LGBTQIA. TBC is solely led by a team of members from such discriminated communities. An Oxfam India report in 2019 shows how badly skewed representation of varied communities is in our newsrooms. A case in point - the report states that of the 121 newsroom leadership positions across newspapers, TV news channels, news websites, and magazines under study, 106 are occupied by journalists from the upper castes. The need to lessen this lacuna and louden such oft-ignored voices is the objective of The Blue Club. Priyadharsini is also a documentary filmmaker and has brought out films such as Go, Get Education, a short film based on the revolutionary 19th century feminist and social reformer, Savitribai Phule and #dalitwomenfight. It brings to light rape atrocities Dalit women face in Haryana and was screened at the 38th session of United Nations Human Rights Council, Geneva. While stating the Oxfam Report in the podcast, I mistakenly mention of the total number of newsroom leadership positions as 101, which is not correct. It is a total of 121 newsroom leadership positions as stated by the Report. The error is regretted.

India administered its 1 billionth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday, 21 October, passing a major milestone for a country where, just a few months ago, the Delta variant of the virus ripped through. The occasion was met with a lot of song and dance, with the Centre launching a new song and an audiovisual film to mark the landmark event. Along with that, the largest national flag, weighing 1,400 kg will be hoisted at the Red Fort. Soon after the country hit the milestone, PM Modi paid a visit to Delhi's Dr Ram Manohar Lohia hospital to interact with health workers and vaccine beneficiaries. And given the hurdles that India faced in the initial days – from vaccine shortages, vaccine distribution problems to states and the deadly second wave that crippled our health care system for nearly three months – hitting one billion doses is no small achievement. But as India celebrates this major milestone, it's also important to remember that millions of people are still waiting to receive the vaccine and according to official figures, we have only fully vaccinated 30 percent of our nearly 1.4 billion population. And this statistic does not include children under 18, who make up nearly 40 percent of the population. Even though 74 percent of the population is vaccinated with one dose, the issue of vaccine hesitancy still exists, with at least 10 percent of the population according to a recent survey not planning on taking the vaccine at all. The Center also announced earlier in May that India's adult vaccine drive will be completed before December 2021. But are we on track to meet that target? What hurdles is India currently facing in our vaccination drive, and nine months later, what lessons have we learned from them?

The increased privatisation of education over the years has led to the dynamic evolution of the educational system as a whole . However, its also led to severe inequality in the the way we educate, as well as given rise to a need to regulate how this privatised model should function especially keeping in mind the disruptions driven by the pandemic and the need to drive equality in the way we educate. One company that's working to drive this regulation in India is Oxfam India.On this episode, Varun is joined by Ankit Vyas, Program Co-ordinator for Inequality & Education, Oxfam India to dig into all of this and so much more.Oxfam's petition link: https://www.oxfamindia.org/petition/private-schools-for-increasing-knowledge-not-profits Follow Ankit Vyas on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ankitvfk Follow Ankit Vyas on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankit-vyas-22296450/Follow Oxfam India on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OxfamIndiaFollow Oxfam India on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxfam-indiaFollow Oxfam India on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oxfamindia/Talk to Varun Duggirala on Twitter and Instagram: @varunduggiYou can find Varun Duggirala on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varun-duggirala-31090313You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app

Sumit is the Founding Editor of The Shudra Media and The News Beak. In the past Sumit has held various positions with ABP News, Zee News, India News and News Nation. It's a well known fact that there is close to nil representation of Dalits in Indian Media. In the recent by The Media Rumble in partnership with Oxfam India, it was revealed that out of 121 leadership positions surveyed in newsrooms, none are held by those belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Three out of every four anchors of flagship debates are upper caste. Not one is Dalit, Adivasi, or OBC. Only 10 of the 972 articles featured on the cover pages of the 12 magazines are about issues related to caste. No more than 5 percent of all articles in English newspapers are written by Dalits and Adivasis. (Source: Newslaundry) In this podcast we talked about. 1. Sumit's experience of working with India media and the ways in which he has seen the casteism that operates in these Upper Caste Castles. 2. The reason behind low representation of Dalits and Bahujan voices. 3.

Adivasis are the indigenous communities in India. There are 104 million Adivasis that speak a few hundred languages but only a handful of them have a access to media of their own. In this episode of O Foundation Conversations, our host Subhashish Panigrahi talks to Ankush Vengurlekar and Ashish Birulee of Adivasi Lives Matter, a platform dedicated to giving a voice to Advisi content producers. Shaped with inspirations from the Black Lives Matter movement, Adivasi Lives Matter provides training to many Adivasi youths on a regular basis who then create stories — text, audio and video. Even the hardship of COVID-19 lockdown has not stopped these content creators who are on a mission to promote their people, languages and cultures online. This episode is only a glimpse of the myriads of activities that Adivasi Lives Matter has been leading.
