While levels of and trends in consumption and income inequality have been studied extensively, wealth inequality has not received the same level of attention. In this paper, we use nationally representative household surveys to show that the period of economic reforms has witnessed a sharp rise in interpersonal wealth inequality. A decomposition of this rising wealth inequality shows that wealth is increasingly concentrated in urban areas, among a few privileged social groups, and in the top decile of the Indian population.RÉSUMÉTrente ans ont passé depuis que l’Inde a implémenté ses réformes économiques axées sur le marché. Tandis que les niveaux et tendances des inégalités de consommation et de revenu ont été étudiés en profondeur, les inégalités de richesse n’ont pas encore reçu le même degré d’attention. Dans cet article, nous nous penchons sur des enquêtes auprès des ménages, représentatives à l'échelon national, afin de démontrer que la période des réformes économiques a témoigné d’une forte hausse des inégalités de richesse interpersonnelles. Une analyse de cette hausse montre que la richesse est de plus en plus concentrée dans les zones urbaines, dans certains groupes sociaux privilégiés, et dans le décile supérieur de la population indienne.KEYWORDS: WealthinequalitycasteIndiarural–urban gap AcknowledgementsWe thank the two anonymous reviewers and the editor for useful comments on earlier drafts of the manuscript.

The Varna system categorised people into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras, in descending order of ‘purity’. Outside the Varna system, or the ‘Avarnas’, were the Dalits and the Adivasis. The Jati system categorised people into thousands of groups and sub-groups, and these Jatis differ in their ritual ranking and occupation.

There is a debate in the literature on whether developing countries should consider commercialising local service delivery. Using data from South African metropolitan municipalities, this study examines the impact of commercialising service delivery on consumer debt. Fixed effects modelling is adopted, and results show that commercialising sanitation increased consumer debt by 22.5 per cent, commercialising solid waste collection reduced consumer debt by 11.9 per cent, while commercialising electricity had no significant impact on consumer debt. These results imply that policymakers should consider the type and nature of public service when deciding its commercialisation.RÉSUMÉLa dette des consommateurs reste un défi pour la viabilité financière des gouvernements locaux. Il existe dans la littérature sur le sujet un débat quant aux décisions à prendre par les pays en développement vis-à-vis d’une commercialisation de la prestation locale des services. Dans cet article, nous utilisons des données venant des municipalités métropolitaines Sud-africaines afin d’examiner l’impact de la commercialisation de la prestation des services sur la dette des consommateurs. Nous y présentons un modèle à effets fixes, dont les résultats démontrent que la commercialisation des services sanitaires a augmenté la dette des consommateurs de 22.5%, que la commercialisation de la collecte des déchets solides l’a réduite de 11.9%, et que la commercialisation de l’électricité n’a pas eu d’impact majeur sur elle. Ces résultats suggèrent que les décideurs politiques devraient considérer le type et la nature des services publics lorsqu’ils prennent des décisions quant à leur commercialisation.KEYWORDS: Commercialisationdeveloping countrieslocal government debtmunicipal consumer debtmunicipalisation Data availability statementThe authors undertake to provide the data used in this study if requested to do so.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 As of 27 March 2022, US$1 = R14.58.2 South African municipalities are categorised into metropolitan (A), district (C) and local (B) municipalities.

Finalement, nous proposons un cadre conceptuel pour évaluer les scénarios de subsistance aux niveaux individuel, domestique, et communautaire, prenant en compte les projets UDIRDR, et ayant pour but l’accès à des moyens de subsistance durables pour le futur.KEYWORDS: Urban developmentrural areadisplacementresettlementsustainable livelihood AcknowledgementsWe sincerely thank the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela, for providing the necessary facilities and the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), India, for funding the research program carried out at the Institute.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationNotes on contributorsIshkiran SinghIshkiran Singh is a Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Planning and Architecture at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Odisha, India, under the supervision of Dr. Soumi Muhuri.
