This study examines the relation of health spending, health indicators and macroeconomic variables of the BRICS economies with economic growth by using panel data that span the years 2000–2019. According to the panel data analysis, the amount of government spending on healthcare has a positive effect on the gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national income per capita of the BRICS countries. Indicators of healthcare are positively related to GDP and GDP/capita. The exceptions are neonatal mortality and life expectancy at birth, both of which do not exhibit a statistically significant positive relation. The two dependent variables, GDP and GDP/capita, have a positive relation with the rate of population growth; however, GDP has a negative relation with inflation. When GDP and GDP/capita are used as dependent variables, the Hausman test indicates that the cross-section random-effect model is more significant than other models. Due to the positive relationship between GHE, GDP and GDP/capita, the government should play a major role in ensuring high-quality healthcare. Out-of-pocket expense increases in BRICS indicate a reduction in healthcare funds, limiting medical services for all citizens. There is a need to focus on healthcare infrastructure.

Technical non-tariff measures (NTMs) represent a commonly employed set of trade policy tools with well-documented implications for international trade. However, this study seeks to delve deeper into the underlying factors shaping these trade effects, focusing specifically on Indian exports to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This study posits that domestic institutional and infrastructural conditions play a pivotal role in influencing the impact of regulatory measures such as technical NTMs. By leveraging logistics and governance indicators to assess these conditions, the research adopts a novel two-stage analysis approach. Initially, the study quantifies the trade effects of technical NTMs, which subsequently serve as the dependent variable in the second stage. The findings uncover nuanced patterns specific to indicators and NTM categories, with a notable emphasis on the significance of importer (ASEAN) indicators over exporter (India) indicators. Moreover, this article introduces an innovative methodological framework that transcends conventional analyses of technical NTMs, aiming to pinpoint the precise factors driving their effects for targeted improvement strategies.

This study examined the lived experiences of older adults in senior living facilities, focusing on the impact of their life course on their well-being. In-depth, semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were used to collect data from 28 older adults from six senior living facilities, and the results were thoroughly analysed. Using Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology and the modified Stevick–Colaizzi–Keen analytical method, five main themes emerged: the influence of the life course on later life, linked lives, attachment through the life course, cultivation of memories and longing for intergenerational relationships. The findings indicated that life course experiences impacted later life in senior living facilities differently for each participant. While some developed meaningful experiences and supportive connections that cushioned the feelings of loss and loneliness, others struggled with a sense of familiarity, identity and security. The findings extend existing knowledge and provide valuable implications for academics, senior living facilitators, government policy, hospitality and healthcare providers.

The article attempts to understand the occurrence of climate-sensitive diseases in the Kuttanad Wetland Ecosystem, considering the backdrop of landscape changes. The study analysed the changes in the environmental landscapes of Kuttanad, which presumably had contributed to the disease epidemiology. The changes in the landscapes in terms of water bodies, land utilization, agricultural practices and other anthropogenic interventions were comprehended by employing the geographic information system and remote sensing approaches. Further, through oral histories, the perceptions of the local inhabitants about the changes in the ecosystem and disease epidemiology were captured. In the study, substantial spatial changes were observed in the wetland during the period 1990–2017. The development initiatives have created serious environmental damage and pushed the wetland into a state of ecological fatigue. The narratives from the field survey attribute the changes in the environmental landscapes as factors that contributed to the epidemiology of climate-sensitive diseases. Infectious diseases, mostly fever-type, assume epidemic proportions during the monsoon and create a feeling of trepidation among people due to their fatal and contagious characteristics.

A state produces political space and uses this space as a privileged instrument to impose its rationality. A high-modernist state commences ‘prescribing’ and ‘imposing’ to establish a ‘new society’, thus adhering to a tabula rasa (blank slate) approach in policies and planning. It denounces the past as a model to ameliorate the present, disregarding local conditions and knowledge, and perpetuating visual images that promise an alchemised future. In a typical spatial understanding of the state, the standard marker of growth is perceivably developing infrastructure. The article intends to do a spatial and temporal reading of the Colombo Port City (CPC) project, deemed to perceivably transform the Sri Lankan urban economic landscape, as a case study. The article conducted an ethnographic study of the project, locating it in Harvey’s ‘spatial fix’, Scott’s High Modernism and Guy Debord’s concept of spectacle to comprehend the larger spatial politics that an infrastructure project exhibits. Considering Colombo as a case study, the article shall also examine infrastructure’s political affect and how spatial reconfigurations rearrange government institutions as the infrastructure impacts and alters the nature of power. It will critically examine the modality of the investments in infrastructure, its internal politics and its much fetishized economic feasibility.

In 2016–2017, Indian government set a policy target of doubling farmers’ incomes by 2022. This article investigates farmers’ perspectives on this contentious policy. Results suggest that only 18% of farmers were aware of this policy. Most farmers blamed the government’s support, high cost of cultivation and low MSP for their inability to increase their farm profitability. While synthesizing farmers’ perspectives, past trends, and the debate among agricultural scientists and policy analysts, this policy could not help farmers in doubling their incomes by 2022. However, it could have been possible if the governments had initiated some targeted programmes to provide them with farm inputs at lower prices and bought their crops at a higher MSP.

Tea industry experts emphasize that selective manual harvesting is the best way to maintain leaf quality while preserving tea plant health. However, tea plantations tend to adopt mechanical harvesting to overcome labour shortages and harvesting costs. But the adoption of mechanical harvesting is still low, prompting further investigations. The purpose of this study is to investigate tea plantation managers’ concerns about the factors influencing mechanical harvesting adoption based on a case study as the research strategy. The results demonstrated that the majority of determinants that emerged, as drivers are consistent with the latent constructs, defined in adoption theories. Key drivers are employees’ attitudes, facilitation, continuous monitoring, training of women and skill development through regular practice. The organizational factors that cannot be explained through adoption theories were isolated. The findings concluded that multi-dimensional factors have emerged as the driving force, which will be useful to anyone looking into the real application.

Political finance does play a positive role in democratic regimes as it enables parties to strengthen their organizations and also run a dynamic electoral campaign. However, for the well-being of electoral democracies, it is imperative that political party funding/campaign finance is neither illegal nor illicit. Violation of political finance-related regulations erodes the citizens’ confidence in the fairness of the electoral system and also weakens trust in political parties. Like other democracies, India also faces the challenge of the infusion of big money, a large component of which remains unaccounted, corroding the fairness of what is otherwise a robust electoral system. The efforts of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to enforce a stringent political finance regime with the help of existing electoral laws, enforcement agencies and judicial intervention have so far met with limited success in checking the illegal and illicit money inflow and large-scale unaccounted expenditure. The task has been difficult due to perceived apathy of political parties, inadequate regulations and enforcement powers with the ECI.

The benefit of institutional delivery not only impacts maternal health but also reduces newborn mortality and increases overall well-being. This study focused on differences in the determinants of delivering at institution settings in India, with specific importance given to mothers within different caste groups. This is one area that was given less importance in the existing literature, particularly in studies that focused on the determinants of institutional delivery in India. Using data from the National Family Health Survey 5 (NFHS-5), the research explores factors influencing the choice between institutional and non-institutional delivery. Using logistic regression, and after removing influential and large residual observations (outliers), the analysis reveals that sociocultural determinants, including caste, religion, economic status and maternal education, significantly impact delivery preferences. Mothers from Scheduled Castes and Other Caste categories exhibit a higher likelihood of opting for institutional delivery. Economic factors, partner support, family size, maternal education, health-seeking behaviours, age, perceived distance to health facilities and media engagement also play crucial roles. Comparative analyses across caste groups emphasize the influence of wealth and education on institutional delivery choices. The findings underscore the need for having targeted interventions addressing diverse sociocultural contexts to improve maternal healthcare outcomes and reduce health disparities in India. Efforts should focus on awareness campaigns and overcoming challenges to promote the benefits of institutional delivery.

Technology is reshaping the occupational landscape. Technological adoption has accelerated in the last few years with the increasing use of robots and automation. However, only a few pieces of literature are available that discuss how robotization and automation would change the world of work. In India, hardly any empirical research discusses the risk of robots and automation in occupations. The article estimates the industrial robot density in the manufacturing sector in India for the period 2011–2012 to 2020–2021. It also observes the workforce distribution changes by industry and occupation for the same period. Further combining the O*Net data with the Employment and Unemployment Survey data and Periodic Labour Force Survey for 2011–2012 and 2020–2021, respectively, constructs the composite index of risk of automation (RoA). The RoA index scores reveal that between 2011–2012 and 2020–2021, the automation risk in all jobs in India has increased and the risk intensity varies across occupations and industries.
