"#Economic #Growth is leading to a fall in #employment for women due to a structural shift in the #economy. Due to technological advancement - demand for agri labourers, most of whom are women working on small family farms is reduced." -@laveeshbhandari (1/11)

"I am not saying it is right. Fall in demand is for all landless labourers, who are generally unskilled and not just women." - @laveeshbhandari (2/11) Read more: tinyurl.com/yxak6ds3 @narendramodi @thegwpfcom @JoeAgneya @alindaMjan @anshuman1tiwari @capt_amarinder @smritiirani

"#ecommercebusiness, electronic #payments will be a big part of the global #economy. In #India, small-time #Traders and informal sectors workers will be most affected." - @laveeshbhandari (3/11)

"#skills required for the previous #economy are of no value now. You cant create new skills in a 40-50-year-olds. There is a massive opportunity for one segment of the population – and almost no opportunity for one community." -@laveeshbhandari (4/11)

"All of us are only going to increase the use of #energy– the impact on the #environment is going to be massive. Especially on the margins and fringes. A lot of this impact on the environment is going to be irreversible." - @laveeshbhandari (5/11)

"We need to create #awareness (on #environment) and then with awareness, you (#Millennials and #GenZ) will take it forward." - @laveeshbhandari (6/11)

"I do not see a future where I can tell people to live in huts, not use #Cars, don’t use #energy and don’t use processed #food. The answer lies in #tech– which is more in sync with #sustainability." - @laveeshbhandari (7/11)

"The goal is not to become a $5 trillion #economy – but to become a #sustainable economy. #Local #businesses are going to be critical in the new economy, even for the #environment – but local economy means smaller scales too." - @laveeshbhandari (8/11)

"The problem in getting people together is #language – as an economist, I'm trained in a certain way...every profession has its terminology. Indifferent b/w choice A & B - for me (economists) means something else but someone else may think I don't care." -@laveeshbhandari (9/11)

"There are many misunderstandings– solution is repeated interactions, that is when we understand (each other's language). We fight & make up. If we don't interact – we don't come to common understanding, we'll never have solutions – esp in democracy." -@laveeshbhandari (10/11)

"The great thing is that we will now have #social networks (for #Communication). While we have greater #challenges, we will also have greater #opportunities now." - @laveeshbhandari (11/11)
