In the panel discussion on “India: From Crisis to Development” organised by IDEAs as part of its series of talks on “Development Agenda for the Post-Pandemic Era”, Chirashree Das Gupta talked about social reproduction and unpaid labour, and its interlinkage with caste, patriarchy and class. She argued that the extraction of unpaid work within paid labour makes social reproduction cheaper.
