Administrative Exclusion of Inactive Work Scheme Beneficiaries
Government transitions to digital direct deposits often focus enrollment exclusively on active participants, inadvertently cutting off former female workers who previously relied on state employment.
Picture this
This is like upgrading a school communications portal but sending setup instructions only to students currently sitting in class today. Former students who stepped away temporarily are left completely out of the loop and face steep hurdles attempting to re-enroll.
What the evidence says
Digital direct deposit migration focused predominantly on recent workers, excluding former female laborers despite one-third of surveyed women having previously requested program work and 75% expressing a desire to work.
- Who
- 9,600 households across 480 Gram Panchayats in 90 blocks of Madhya Pradesh, India.
- How
- Observational baseline mapping within a clustered RCT, tracking administrative enrollment bottlenecks across former program participants.
What to do
Execute targeted administrative outreach drives specifically aimed at former program beneficiaries to re-link inactive account holders to digital wage delivery systems.
From the source
"Although all participants are meant to receive payments via direct deposit, enrollment has focused largely on recent workers, excluding many people who previously worked for the program."
