The objective is to provide a diagnostic of how the three excluded groups under analysis have fared along various development indicators during a period of rapid economic growth in the national economy. In seeking this objective, the report also addresses correlates and the processes that explain how and why these groups have fared the way they have over a period of time. Chapter two in this report focuses on the Adivasis or STs. In most analyses, this topic is addressed after the Dalits, but the author has placed it first for analytical and organizational purposes. There are two reasons for this: tribal groups are not strictly within the caste system, and the bonds of rituals do not affect their relations with the world in general. Also the report shows that outcomes among Adivasis are among the worst, despite considerable variation across places of residence and tribal groupings. Finally, Chapter three focuses on Dalits, a term that has united the SCs in a process that is more empowering than the process of identification by individual names, which have been and continue to be associated with ritually impure occupations.CC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO MARKETSAFFIRMATIVE ACTIONAGE OF MARRIAGEAGEDANTENATAL CAREANTENATAL VISITSBABIESBASIC HUMAN RIGHTSCASUAL WORKERSCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCHILDBEARINGCHILDBIRTHCITIZENSCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCECREDIT FACILITIESCULTURAL PRACTICESDECISION MAKINGDECLINES IN MORTALITYDEVELOPMENT BANKDISABILITYDISABLEDDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDISCRIMINATIONDISSEMINATIONDOWRYEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD MORTALITYEARNINGSECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC SYSTEMEDUCATED MENEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATION FUNDEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL LEVELEDUCATIONAL LEVELSELDERLYELDERLY PERSONSEMPLOYERSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT STATUSENDOWMENTSENHANCING WOMENENROLLMENTSENTREPRENEURENTREPRENEURSEQUAL ACCESSEQUAL OPPORTUNITIESEQUALITY FOR WOMENETHNIC GROUPSETHNIC MINORITYEXCESS MORTALITYEXPERIENCED VIOLENCEFAMILIESFAMILY FARMSFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY PLANNINGFEMALE CHILDRENFEMALE LABOR FORCEFEMINISTFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFIRST CHILDFISCAL LOSSGENDERGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER GAPGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER RELATIONSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGUARANTEE SCHEMEHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SYSTEMHIGH CHILD MORTALITYHOUSEHOLD DUTIESHOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIESHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUSBANDSILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT ON CHILDRENIMPORTANT POLICYINDIGENOUS PEOPLEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINNOVATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEIRONISOLATIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOUR MARKETLACK OF CREDITLACK OF FINANCELACK OF INFORMATIONLAWSLEGAL STATUSLIVE BIRTHSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL MUNICIPALITIESMATERNAL DEATHMATERNAL DEATHSMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTH SERVICESMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATESMEDICAL FACILITIESMEDICAL FACILITYMEN WITH EDUCATIONMERCHANTSMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMINORITYMORTALITYNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATURAL RESOURCESOLD AGEPACE OF DECLINEPENSIONSPERSONS WITH DISABILITIESPOLICY DOCUMENTPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL DECISIONPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLLUTIONPOOR ACCESSPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION REFERENCE BUREAUPRACTITIONERSPREFERENCE FOR SONSPREGNANCYPRENATAL CAREPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROGRESSPUBLIC ARENAPUBLIC ATTENTIONPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYREGISTRATION SYSTEMREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESRESPECTRISK FACTORSRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONRURAL WOMENSCHOOL STUDENTSSCREENINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSELF-CONFIDENCESELF-EMPLOYMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSEXSEX OF THE CHILDSEX RATIOSEX RATIOSSOCIAL BARRIERSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL GROUPSOCIAL INEQUALITYSOCIAL MOBILITYSOCIAL MOVEMENTSSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIAL PROGRESSSOCIAL PROTECTION MECHANISMSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSON PREFERENCESTATE SUPPORTSTATUS OF WOMENSTRUCTURAL INEQUALITIESSURVIVAL ADVANTAGESURVIVAL RATESUSTAINABLE GROWTHTABOOTETANUSTRADITIONAL PRACTICESUNEDUCATED WOMENUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNEQUAL ACCESSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSVILLAGEVILLAGESVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY TO VIOLENCEWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWASTEWOMANWORKING-AGE POPULATIONYOUNG GIRLSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8690-3
