It uses the two unit-level datasets from the National Sample Survey Office Employment and Unemployment Survey 2011-2012 and Periodic Labour Force Survey 2018-2019. The multinomial regression results found that illiterate and lower social stratum have more chances to engage in unpaid activities. It then explores the impact of COVID-19 on unpaid work activities among women in the northeast states.

The agricultural sector's share has consistently diminished over time to below 20 percent of the total State gross-domestic-product (SGDP). The GSDP growth has no link with the performance of agricultural development over the most recent years. This paper aims to examine how non-farm employment growth has affected the urban consumption patterns during the post-liberalization period in Assam.
