    Abstract India experienced one of the strictest lockdowns during COVID-19 and sections of the workforce seemed overwhelmingly disadvantaged. Given substantial poverty still, marginalized daily wage labor and gendered outcomes in the context of India, economic shocks are expected to have disparate implications. Employing World Bank data for rural areas in six states of India, we investigate the probability of female employment during the lockdown period between March and May 2020. Based on marginal estimates of logit specifications, our results show that females, in general, were 8 percent less likely to be employed as compared to males. Females belonging to marginalized castes experienced higher likelihood of being unemployed – between 9 and 14%. Return migrants generally suffered less in terms of finding alternative jobs at the source, but being a female return migrant, the probability of joblessness rises to about 17%. For female return migrants belonging to marginalized castes, the probability of joblessness is about 10%. Lockdown is expected to have raised the economic inequality by gender and needs commensurate interventions.

    Abstract Background: The Laminar device rotates and closes the left atrial appendage (LAA) using an integrated ball and lock that excludes and eliminates the LAA pouch. There is a low device surface area, minimizing the risk of peridevice leak (PDL) and device-related thrombus (DRT) formation.
    Objectives: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Laminar LAA exclusion device in healthy animals and human subjects with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation at risk of ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism.
    Methods: The preclinical study implanted the Laminar device into canine subjects that underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and fluoroscopic evaluation, followed by necropsy and histological assessment at 45 and 150-days post-implant. The early clinical study implanted the device in human subjects, followed to 12 months postimplantation. Procedural success was defined as device implantation in the intended location without residual LAA leak >5 mm as seen by TEE. Safety endpoints included freedom from stroke, systemic embolism, pericardial effusion, or tamponade, life-threatening/major bleeding, or death.
    Results: The Laminar device was successfully implanted in 10 canines. In all animals at 45 days and 150 days, no PDL or DRT was found, and histological examination showed fully closed LAAs covered with neo-endocardium. The device was successfully implanted in 15 human subjects with no safety events out to 12 months postimplantation. All subjects had successful protocol-defined LAA closure without DRT at 45 days by TEE and computed tomography, which remained stable through 12 months' follow-up.
    Conclusions: The preclinical and early clinical results demonstrate a promising safety and efficacy profile for the Laminar LAA exclusion device.

    Abstract The evidence is mixed on whether informal labor in developing countries benefits from trade and labor market reforms. Reforms lead to higher wages and improved employment conditions in the informal sector in some cases, and to the opposite effect in others. At a cross-country level, lifting trade protection boosts informal-sector employment. The direction and size of the impacts on informal-sector employment and wages are determined by capital mobility and the interactions between trade and labor market reforms and public policies, such as monitoring the formal sector. To guarantee best practice policymakers need to take these interdependencies into account.

    Abstract The ambiguity in the relationship between self-employment and educational attainment is well documented in the literature. Using an extensive individual level dataset from Periodic Labor Force Survey, we estimate the probability of being self-employed in India based on educational attainments. Our results suggest that the probability of being self-employed rises for an individual with education but not monotonically so. Indeed, the impact of education on likelihood of self-employment does not convey much information without considering how the effect varies across gender, caste, age, household size, religion, and industry as various cohorts chosen for this study using 418,297 observations. The probability to be self-employed varies considerably based on gender, caste and age when the level of education rises. A cohort based analysis for determination of self-employment is novel for India along with the findings where college educated women show higher probability of self-employment than men, for example. The importance of considering the non-linearity in the relationship between self-employment and education, usually part of analytical frameworks but inadequately addressed empirically, should be useful for better policies on the interaction between human capital and occupational choice. Robustness analysis considering further cohort effects in terms of household size and religion, buttresses our benchmark results.
