Security and Vulnerability
The sources of human insecurity and vulnerability in India are multiple. Some are structural (caste system, patriarchy, under-development, lopsided development), others conjunctural (natural disasters). More recently, growth, globalization and climate change have tended to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, and have also created new risks and insecurities. International competition has resulted in greater financial and market volatility. The precariousness of employment has increased and the social protection of workers has diminished. IHD plans to work on the various types of vulnerability that threaten livelihoods and analyze the factors and processes leading to conflict and violence as well as those fostering social cohesion.
