India is least urbanized among top ten economies of the world. Recent years have seen a spurt in development in various sectors, and a transition of work force out from agriculture to other sectors; this coupled with jobless growth has made a huge flow of unskilled labours from various states. The so called Migrants, the faceless nameless people who are the real driver’s of our economy. They move from their states to other places in search of a livelihood, to sustain and survive, and contribute to our economy, in a subtle way we never actually thought off. There are many reasons for this, regional disparities, employment opportunities, are most prominent. Never the less their invisible hands are more needed than ever now, as we unlock and head towards economic activity, but maybe we have failed the migrant labours as a society. India’s informal workforce is made up of 80% migrant workers, and yet we haven’t given them the credibility they deserve. May be it’s time now, to acknowledge who they are, and what they are, else we risk losing the major workforce of our country, and face unprecedented economic consequences.

Monotheism (Tauhid) is the core teachings of Islam, but also the core teachings of all religions of the Book. Prophets alternated in God sent to earth real duty to communicate the idea of Tauhid. Tauhid basis of the whole concept and activities of Muslims, whether economic, political, social and culture. The world of view which starts from the concept of God will have implications for the activities of human life in the world as a whole. There are demands that any form of formulations or economic concepts that are formulated to be maintained within the framework of the truth of Tauhid, and there is a belief also that there is a responsibility that must be followed ultimately by each economic agent of any economic activity undertaken. Truth in the monotheistic concept in economic activity by always ensuring consistent with the provisions of Allah is the real form of godly someone as a Muslim. In other words, a choice to the economically Islamically is a consequence someone (ideological reasons). Denying the principles of sharia in economic activity will lead to hypocritical (munafiqun), wickedness (mufasiqun) or even shirk (Syirik).Tauhid adalah inti ajaran Islam, bahkan juga inti ajaran semua agama samawi. Para Nabi dan Rasul silih berganti di utus Allah ke muka bumi sesungguhnya bertugas untuk menyampaikan paham tauhid ini.Tauhid menjadi dasar seluruh konsep dan aktifitas umat Islam, baik ekonomi, politik, sosial maupun budaya.Pandangan dunia yang dimulai dari konsep ke-Tuhanan atau ke-Esa-an Tuhan akan berimplikasi kepada kegiatan kehidupan manusia didunia secara keseluruhan. Ada tuntutan bahwa apapun bentuk formulasi atau konsep ekonomi yang dirumuskan harus terjaga dalam kerangka kebenaran tauhid., dan ada keyakinan pula bahwa ada pertanggungjawaban yang harus dijalani yang pada akhirnya oleh setiap pelaku ekonomi dari setiap aktivitas ekonomi yang dilakukan. Kebenaran dalam konsep tauhid adalah mutlak milik Allah SWT.Menjalankan aktivitas ekonomi dengan senantiasa memastikan sejalan dengan ketentuan Allah SWT merupakan bentuk rill dari keberimanan seseorang sebagai seorang muslim. Dengan kata lain, pilihan (choice) untuk berekonomi secara islami adalah merupakan konsekwensi keberislaman seseorang (alasan ideologis). Mengingkari prinsip-prinsip syariah dalam beraktivitas ekonomi akan membawa pada kemunafiqan, kefasikan atau bahkan kesyirikan.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a challenge for the global community and has led to a sharp downturn in the economies of many countries around the world. In January 2020, the IMF said that the world is heading towards a new Great Depression, as there is a trend similar to the situation of the 1920s. Hence, according to forecasts, the rate of economic growth in East Asia and the Pacific region by the end of 2020 will decrease to 0.5% and will reach the lowest level since 1967, being a reflection of the shocks associated with the pandemic. In China, extremely restrictive measures have led to an almost complete halt in business activity in some sectors and regions. China’s economic growth is expected to slow to 1% in 2020. Economic activity in the rest of East Asia and the Pacific region is projected to decline by 1.2% in 2020 and will recover to 5.4% in 2021. The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a detrimental impact on the countries of Europe and Central Asia, with the overall recession to 4.7% as forecasted for 2020. In the Middle East and North Africa, a 4.2% decline in economic activity is forecasted, because of the development of the pandemic and the collapsed oil market. In South Asia, as a result of measures to mitigate the effects of pandemics and collapse of global demand, have sharply fallen the volumes of industry, services and trade activities. The effects of the pandemic and the drastic fall in global commodity prices was a crushing blow for Latin American and Caribbean countries. A sharp slowdown in the economies of U.S. and China has disrupted supply chains to Mexico and Brazil and caused a stark drop in exports from Chile and Peru. The downturn in tourism has also had negative consequences. Such statistics confirm the opinion of many leading scholars in the world that the result of the COVID-19 pandemic will be a decrease in the level of hyperglobization of the world economy. In addition, a move away from U.S.-oriented globalization and a shift toward China-oriented globalization will also be likely.

In addressing the problem of the “economics of worship” in ancient societies it is advisable first to ascertain on what area of “worship” we should focus our investigation. And while one could indeed attempt to explore the economics of, say, the practices of family religion in ancient Israel and Judah, this does not seem to contribute much to deepening our understanding of the economics of worship generally—not because family religion was not representative of the overall practice of religion in that part of the world, but because, due to its very nature, it did not produce hubs of economic activity and therefore gives us no decisive insights into the correlation between economic and religious practices. By contrast, temples are indeed such hubs; this is true today and was no less true of ancient Israel and Judah. In fact, it was probably more obvious then than it is now that temples hosted economic transactions of various kinds and that some of them were veritable economic hubs of huge significance for the whole of the social formation that had brought them forth. Biblical and other ancient Near Eastern texts do not obfuscate the central significance of the economic basis and the economic consequences of cultic activity; on the contrary, they address them without any qualms.

Service Sectors

Majority of the countries in the world has been functioning with its involvement in one or more of the three sectors of the economy such as agriculture, industry and services. In India, a large proportion of population live in poverty due to low level of skill development who are unable to cope with the available employment opportunities in the three sectors of the economy. Proper skill training not only benefits the work force and allows it to earn a decent living, but also contributes to the national economy by enhancing better productivity through the work force. Although India is an agricultural country, its importance in terms of giving employment and to generate adequate income to the people engaged in the sector has been gradually and steadily declining overtime. Consequently, industry and service sectors have been absorbing the displaced agricultural population to some extent. To what extent all the three sectors help the people to get employment and earn income for their livelihood in India, especially in the four southern states of India is discussed in the paper.

Abstract One of the most prominent sixth-generation filmmakers, Jia Zhangke tells compelling stories about China’s floating population. He documents the quotidian activities of marginal people with long shots and long takes, showing their love, despair, and regrets. Scholars often consider Jia a neorealist or postsocialist realist, but close analyses of his works reveal his penchant for adding fantastical images to true-to-life stories. In his first officially released film, The World (2004), for example, Jia pairs long takes with animation and medium shots to capture the “surreal, unsettling effects” of a rapidly changing society. This generic mixture, I argue, allows the director to expose the psychologies of isolated migrant workers inhabiting multiple realities in a complex world. Jia’s willingness to investigate new ways of envisioning thoughts and emotions illustrates the corrosive effect of greed in postsocialist society and helps expand film’s formalistic commitments to the ethics of representing the real.

The article analyzes fundamental reasons for the world economic crisis in the light of global technological shifts. It proves that it is caused by the substitution of technological modes. It is shown that sharp increase and slump in stock indices and prices for energy resources are typical of the process of technological substitution which occurs regularly according to the rhythm of long-wave fluctuations of the world economic activity. The article rationalizes a package of anti-crisis measures aimed at stimulating the new technological mode. Its structure and role of the locomotive factor of the new long wave of economic growth are revealed.

The present study details the women employment and the overwhelming potential help for women to get the economic power and to change a gender connection on the employment market. Working women pick up a considerable measure of new skill and abilities associated with driving an organization as well as with personal improvement. Besides, they also conceded that more prominent support women in the market may contribute to defeat a stereotypical picture of woman as a mother and spouse. This is fought to be principally a result of structural shifts in the economy, changing effect of wage and substitution effects and an increase in instruction levels of women in the populace. Our results also suggest that development without any other person's information is not sufficient to increase women's economic activity, but instead the dynamics of development matter. These findings are especially imperative to help design policies to enhance women's work force cooperation rate so that India can take complete favorable position of its upcoming demographic dividend.
