Sources: Poverty rates are based on 2004/05 Tendulkar poverty lines updated to 2009/10 using state-specific consumer price indices for agricultural laborers (CPIAL) and per capita consumption expenditures in Schedule 1.0 of the National Sample Survey. Poverty rates for Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand are not reported because data are not available on state-level CPIAL. The female share of person days is from MGNREGS administrative data (http://nrega.nic.in). The remaining columns are from the authors’ calculations from unit record data of 2009/10 National Sample Survey Schedule 1.0 (for headcount index) and Schedule 10.0. Note: Households with missing values (that did not respond to the question on whether they got, sought, or did not want work on MGNREGS) are excluded from the sample when participation, demand, and rationing rates are estimated. MGNREGS = Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme; — = not available.
