Economists have generally explained the inverse relationship between income and fertility as due to the decision among modern households to invest in the quality of children that they raise over the quantity of children they make.

In their paper, authors argue that there is now a positive rather than a negative or inverse relationship between women’s labour force participation rate and fertility levels across many countries.

Women today get more support from their family, the state, and others when it comes to raising their children. Work conditions may also be better suited to the needs of working mothers

In Delhi, before the advent of radio taxis, the black and yellow taxis dominated. Mehram Nagar was the anchor that connected the owners and the drivers, and this connection provided them with the impetus to form an association strong enough to negotiate with the authorities and operate independent of third parties. 

The call centrebased radio taxis attracted many drivers as the system promised more profit. However, the model failed to provide drivers with the number of assignments they had been promised. Deposits, rents and passenger rating systems were used as disciplinary measures, giving passengers and companies more power over the drivers. 

The exploitation of drivers by taxi companies saw retaliation but the introduction of appbased aggregators such as Ola and Uber and the awakening of the platform economy muffled this labour militancy.
