“Formal and Informal Sector in India -Causes, Consequences and Policy framework in socio-economic development” is an endeavor of the Research Wing of Siliguri College of Commerce, Siliguri to get an insight about the emerging issues faced by the formal and informal sector in India. As a developing economy, India has grown in GDP terms since 2005 and is one of the fastest growing economies in the world as of now, overtaking the GDP of Great Britain in 2022. Apart from her satisfactory growth in terms of formal planning, the size and magnitude of India’s informal sector is something which is a concern for both researchers and planners. Large informal clusters in metro cities of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico as well as in emerging metros like Surat, Siliguri, Bhopal and Vijaywada may thwart any comprehensive planning premises of a welfare state. There are issues of livelihoods and educational attainments if the informal base is large and operate beyond the spectrum of Government initiatives. The vulnerabilities of the migrant workers, the livelihoods of small traders and the literacy attainments of the school going children enrolled in low cost public schools were severely impacted when India was closed down for almost 187 days in 2020-2022 during the COVID crisis. The presence of informal workers in agricultural sector, small scale industries, MSMEs and informal employment is anything close to 235 million in India. There has been sincere efforts by our Governments to uplift the rural poor and the marginalized urban clusters by means of self-employment schemes and tax incentives, but such efforts do not reach the informal economy. Therefore the main focus lies in integrating these clusters with the formal economy. This is undoubtedly a formidable task. Further there is a need for a national floor to protect the wages of the clusters operating in the informal sector- in terms of minimum wage, health and safety measures as well as literacy attainments. On the other side, schooling, literacy attainments and livelihoods were severely affected during the lockdown. These are the issues which are raised in this publication.

A New World-System: From Chaos to Sustainability examines the present crisis in the social and ecological environment that is producing profound, potentially catastrophic challenges to the planet and humanity and outlines a process for moving forward to address these critical issues. This book is a cautionary interpretation of the present and vision for the future. Unlike other books on this or allied subjects that are focused singularly, Part 1 surveys the five major threats facing humanity today: climate change, inequality and poverty, new technologies, migration, and globalization. It approaches the challenge of integrating these phenomena into a global picture from a systems perspective rather than taking a purely reductionist approach to understanding what is occurring in the world today. Part 2 moves from identifying the problems to solving them, with chapters examining the ability of the present world-system to address these issues and outlining a process for action. The book concludes by discussing what could follow capitalism as a social organizing strategy and, perhaps more importantly, the consequences to the planet if we do not construct a new world-system. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of sustainable development, climate change, environmental studies, rural and urban planning, environmental psychology, political economy, sociology, social policy, leisure studies, and environmental politics. More broadly, it is a vital resource for all those interested in building a sustainable society.

This book marks a milestone in Economics publishing. It is the first comprehensive text on sustainable economics, a must-read for anyone studying postgraduate or senior undergraduate economics, human geography, environmental sustainability and sustainable development or working in today's business environment. It is an essential text for Master of Business Administration (MBA) students. The book is not just designed to support current teaching, but comes with a package that delivers a complete module, with Powerpoint lecture slides, handouts, electronic links to 1000 of the leading books and papers written on the subject and a huge array of class-based projects and discussion topics, essay titles and aims, objectives, outcomes and experiences. Sustainable economics is the subject of the moment, as business across the globe face up to significant issues such as peak oil, climate instability, increasingly complex environmental legislation and the challenge of adapting to a new business landscape. Yet for the average practitioner, sustainability is a difficult subject, demanding knowledge of biology, geography, social studies, history and economics. Additionally, there are over twenty different major schools of sustainable economics out there. Which, if any, offers the best way forward? Fundamental questions relating to economic growth and its relationship to environmental damage, skepticism related to climate change, obsession with reducing carbon emissions, the Hubbert curve, the environmental Kuznets curve, whether transition is possible and how it should be managed and measured, design, manufacturing, use and end-of-life aspects of products, all vie for attention. What is needed is a clearly written book by experts in both economics and the environment, setting out the historical context of the subject, its development and its current status, using the literature of the leading minds in the field. A book that debugs the language of sustainable development, unravels the tangled threads of the subject, critiques the many schools of thought and sets out clear directions for the future. This book is Sustainable Economics. An extensive pack of electronic supporting material is available online for free download. This includes a series of lectures totaling 500 slides with outlines and templates for use by lecturers, all figures and tables and a web linked reference system allowing you to instantly search and access the cited references in the book. Website details are inside the book.

The object of this book is to highlight how the nascent field of sustainability science is addressing a key challenges for scientists; that is, understanding the workings of complex systems especially when humans are involved. A consistent thread in the sustainability science movement is the wide acknowledgement that greater degrees of integration across what are now segmented dimensions of extant Science and Technology systems will be a key factor in matching the most appropriate science and technology solutions to specific sustainability problems in specific places.
