• Why is Female Labour Force Participation Declining so Sharply in India (2014, background): “A number of competing hypotheses have been brought forward to explain the steep decline observed between the 2004-05 and 2009-10 survey rounds, see Chowdhury (2011) and Neff et al. (2012).”
• Women and Work in India: Descriptive Evidence and a Review of Potential Policies (2017, background): “Girls’ primary school enrollment has reached parity with that of boys, and universal enrollment2 was achieved in 2015 (Neff et al., 2012; UNESCO 2015).”
• Women’s Empowerment and Economic Development: A Feminist Critique of Storytelling Practices in “Randomista” Economics (2020, background): “On the contrary, high rates of growth have been accompanied by a steady decline in rural women’s labor force participation while female participation rates in urban areas have remained almost flat for several decades (Neff, Sen, and King 2012; Kapsos, Silberman, and Bourmpoula 2014).”
