Existing literature shows that parental unemployment has detrimental long-term effects on child development. My study focuses on the short-term impact of unemployed parents in their time investment. Using an instrumental variable approach and the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), I study if individuals who were laid-off or have been unemployed reallocate the time that was spent at work by spending more time with their children. I find that when unemployed, parents spend more time with their children than looking for new employment opportunities in the short-run. The shortrun effects of unemployment are opposite of long-run effects and favorable for children. This behavior is consistent among all races and sexes.

India is a small player in most of the product categories barring pharmacy sector. In the last 10 years’ period of observation, India has not been able to increase her presence significantly in most of the segment. By contrast, China, starting from a similar base like India in some of the segments, has exhibited marked improvement. It should also be mentioned that unlike China, India has not been able to enter high-end segment of product in most of the categories. Of course, India’s performance would have been better if India would have concentrated on products which have low NTBs. China has done the same in some cases.
