ABOUT PALLAVI CHOUDHURI

I am the Deputy Director and Senior Fellow at the National Data Innovation Center at NCAER (National Council of Applied Economic Research). My primary research interests are in the areas of informality, poverty, employment, social protection, and gender. Previously, at NDIC, I have led experiments on measurement gaps in income and consumption data and women’s paid and unpaid work. I am part of the core research team for the Indian Human Development Survey, involved with the design and implementation of the third wave of the survey. My work has been published in both international and domestic journals, along with contributions to Indian (English language) newspapers (The Economic Times, Indian Express, The Hindu). I am the lead editor of the book, “India’s Social and Economic Transformation in the 21st Century”, an edited volume of articles using data from various rounds of the IHDS, published by Routledge (2023). I am an active member of several national and international organizations in economics and demography and have also served on government committees during my work at NCAER. Prior to joining NCAER, I taught courses in Economics at the Grand Valley State University in Michigan as a Visiting Assistant Professor. I received my PhD. in Economics from the University of Wyoming.
