Research Abstract

Through this research project, two Indian surveys were conducted. The first one is the household survey conducted in two villages from Tamil Nadu in 2103, which contains about 500 households. The research outcome from the preliminary survey was reported in a major domestic academic conference. The second one is the survey about status preferences conducted in Delhi, covering about 400 individuals. Due to the delay of the survey, data are still being analysed.
