The passage of the Women's Reservation Bill on September 20 was a landmark step. The Bill reserves one-third of the seats in Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women. The move is expected to make Indian political leadership more diverse and inclusive while empowering women lawmakers to articulate and act upon the concerns and issues of women residing in diverse geographies and cultures. The 33% quota for women will leapfrog India into one of 64 countries around the world that have reserved seats for women in their parliaments. Studies have shown that women in leadership positions positively impact policy delivery, programmes and financing that improve the lives of women and their families, communities and their nations.

Homebuyers are a distressed lot. Their equated monthly instalments have been ballooning ever since a flurry of rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India over the last one year. And many of them decided to immediately prepay part of their home loans, even if that meant breaking their fixed deposits and other investments. Take the case of Delhi-based lawyer Prasouk Jain, who saw his home loan interest rate jump from the sanctioned rate of 6.4% to 9.2% in just 15 months on the back of successive repo rate hikes. He, too, made a part-prepayment of the loan to mitigate the impact. He also negotiated with the bank for a lower rate of 8.4%.

LONDON — The dollar rose against the yen to an almost 11-month high on Monday following last week's gains, keeping traders focused on Japan intervention risks. The yen fell 0.17% to 148.66 per dollar, touching its lowest since late October and adding to Friday's declines after the BOJ maintained ultra-low interest rates, while Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed the need to spend more time assessing data before raising interest rates. The Japanese currency remained within striking distance of 150, a level which some market watchers saw as a line in the sand that would spur forex intervention from Japanese authorities similar to that of last year. «According to BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda there was no sign yet of stable inflation on a sustainable basis so that the BoJ will patiently continue with monetary easing under the current framework. That was a clear dampener for the yen,» said Esther Reichelt, FX analyst at Commerzbank. A yen overshooting would be seen by many as a catalyst for renewed interventions to strengthen the Japanese currency, similarly to last year, she added. «It is possible of course that exactly such fears of interventions might have prevented a weaker yen for now». The dollar index, which on Friday touched an over six-month high, firmed at 105.64 and was last 0.06% higher. Last week, the Federal Reserve kept rates on hold at its policy meeting, but surprised markets by signalling U.S.

Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) upends the common gender norm of the “male breadwinner” norm, i.e. husbands are considered the primary earners with wives contributing to household income only if necessary. According to the State of Working India 2023 report by Azim Premji University which analyses PLFS data, in the households where the husband’s earnings are high, the probability of the wife being employed is low, controlling for individual and household factors. The fall in this probability slows down as husband’s incomes increase in rural India, while for urban areas, there is a reversal beyond a certain level of income. As husband’s earnings keep rising, from approximately ₹40,000 per month onwards, there is an increased likelihood of wives being employed.This U-shaped pattern could result from a change in norms with rising incomes or it could also be due to the fact that such husbands are matched with higher educated wives who have preferences as well as opportunities to access better paid work.

Stocks took a hit last week, with the S&P 500 plummeting by more than 3% and the Nasdaq 100 by almost 3.5%. The Russell 2000 fared even worse, dropping nearly 4%. While markets have declined, let’s face the reality: they could dip further. The S&P 500 is only 6% off its peak, and the Nasdaq 100 has decreased just 7.7%. This is relatively modest, considering that the Nasdaq is still up about 38% from its December lows, and the S&P 500 has climbed 23.5% from its October trough.
