The 2016 India Employment Report demolishes the myths of both 'demographic dividend'and 'jobless growth'in the India growth story. But it recognizes that the growth of decent, productive employment is too slow even to absorb the annual increment of new workers in the workforce, let alone eliminate the huge backlog of open unemployment and low productivity underemployment. This paper argues that this challenge is a man-made problem, the consequence of a range of dysfunctional policies that have a strong anti-employment bias. Moreover, a longstanding elitist bias in education policy has pre-empted the provision of quality basic education without which the bulk of the workforce cannot be suitably skilled for decent, productive employment. The paper suggests that these dysfunctional policies are attributable to a fractionalized polity and India's soft state, which stands in sharp contrast to the hard states seen in the dramatically successful East Asian model of guided capitalism.

"This text explores how the dynamics of globalization and privatization have influenced state policy and impacted education reform in Honduras. Chapters document historical trends and the evolution of Honduras as a post-colonial nation, before looking in detail at recent state interventions in policy at pre-school, elementary, and secondary level. By offering empirical analysis of the Honduran education sector, the changing role and priorities of the state, and the increasing involvement of international organizations, NGOs, and private actors in the provision of education, the text increases understanding of how state theory interacts with broader global dynamics to impact education. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with a focus on international and comparative education, policy analysis, globalization, and international development"--
