Rural-Urban Divide
The rural-urban divide continues despite a high growth rate. According to the 61st round of the National Sample Survey, apart from rural-urban wage differentials, gender differentials are very much a part of the present-day Indian economy. The urban regular wage earner earned Rs 194 a day, which was one-and-a-half times the rural average of Rs 134 a day in ../2004-05. Interestingly, the wage gap is most pronounced among graduates. An analysis.

The Asian Agenda
 Is a region-wide free-trade area a realistic goal? So far, 183 free trade agreements have either been signed or are being proposed or negotiated across Asia. The share of intra-regional trade has risen to about 55 per cent last year from 40 per cent in the early 1990s. Aside from trade in goods, there is a need to focus on free trade in services. Given the stalled WTO talks, it is vital for Asian countries to pursue further market opening and structural reforms.
Rising Remittances
The remittances from overseas workers and professionals are soaring. Back in 1990, a bare $2.1 billion flowed in from overseas Indians, but by ../2005 the figure had risen to $24 billion. In fact, India is now on top of the remittances heap; it accounts for a quarter of all remittances worldwide. According to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects of ../2006, transfers to South Asia outstrip traditional exports as forex earners.
The Multi-taskers
 Modern families are racing to squeeze in more and more work into their daily lives, according to a study by Yahoo and OMD media firm. Computing and communications devices had people cramming an average of 43 hours' worth of activity into a typical 24-hour day by "multi-tasking". Mexico, India and China had the highest multi-tasking rates. The changing landscape of modern families may be a challenge for marketers.
