abstract: 'The affirmative action policy for socially and economically backward
communities in employment has been a debated issue in India. In this
context, this paper aims to analyze the level of inequality by
distinguishing between `circumstance'' and `effort'' factors in the
Roemer''s framework on equality of opportunity. We measure inequality of
opportunities due to two circumstances: caste and religion. Our
empirical analysis, at state-level, utilizes a recent household survey
data, which provides information related to efforts as well as
circumstances of workers. The paper estimated inequality in the labour
market and then decomposed it to know the circumstances that cause
income inequality. Our estimates indicated that inequality and
inequality of opportunity is substantially higher in India.
Specifically, the outcome of our analysis evidently indicated that the
socially backward communities do have economically disadvantageous
position in some of the Indian states. However, the degree of
circumstances based on inequality varies to a great extent among the
states. Therefore, we suggest that the country does not need a
nation-level affirmative action policy instead a state-level policy
could be more appropriate as the intensity of the problem differ
significantly among the Indian states.'
