"Das Committee for Development Policy (CDP) der Vereinten Nationen hat sich in seinem Jahresbericht 2000 damit befaßt, die Kriterien der Unterentwicklung neu zu definieren und die Liste der am wenigsten entwickelten Länder (Least Developed Countries) neu zu bestimmen. In diesem Beitrag werden die wichtigsten methodischen Überlegungen und die sich daraus ergebenden empirischen Folgerungen präsentiert. Insbesondere wird darauf eingegangen, wie die Verletzbarkeit (vulnerability) der am wenigsten entwickelten Länder statistisch ermittelt und politisch bestimmt werden kann." (Autorenreferat)

India is a country of billion plus population with mixture of varieties of ethnic, religious, caste and class people live harmoniously from century past and this assimilation and amalgamation nourished a distinct Indian civilization which is called "Unity in Diversity". Over the period it developed as a strong nation. Despite so much upheaval people bound together in a singular nationhood. Post Nehruvian era, the lack of political manoeuvring created huge socio-economic divide among citizen of this country. Though, it has initiated several policies & programmes to uplift vulnerable groups but somehow Muslim minority left marginalized because of political chauvinism and lack of will of the government. This paper tries to explore the causes & consequences of socio-economic conditions of Muslim minority in general. The Study is based on primary as well as secondary sources that has been analysed on the pretext of describing the problems facing the community in socio-economic front.

The main goal of this study is two-fold: (1) to provide a general overview of the contributions to the literature on the informal sector, with a special focus on the public choice approach; & (2) to compare these contributions across two institutionally different types of countries: developed & less developed (developing & transition) countries. The paper focuses on the criteria used to define the informal sector, the relationship between the formal & informal economy, tax evasion, & public choice analysis. It is stressed throughout this paper that the distinction between the two types of countries is of key importance. 3 Tables, 97 References. Adapted from the source document.
