Editor’s Note ✍️
If you’re someone who’s looking to switch to a career in policy/development, it’s always good to have a portfolio of work that you can show to potential employers! Writing and getting published on open platforms can be a great way to do that - and we accept submissions for our online library of policy pieces round the year. You can write to us at contact@publicpolicyindia.com with your pieces and get the ball rolling!
This week’s newsletter features a video on how Singapore solved healthcare, a fellowship for lawyers, a piece on financial services and how they can bridge the gender gap and the latest job and internship opportunities from the field of public policy and development!
With that we bring you The Policy Post #97!
This Week’s Policy Focus 🔎
Can Existing Digital Financial Services in India Bridge the Gender Gap?
Anushri Muthusamy writes: The gender gap will only allow the society’s social fabric to stumble and the economy to stagnate. Digital financial services are a significant way to bridge the gap until it’s looked from a gendered standpoint.
