Risk return is the right framework, but the more relevant point is still - why aren't there enough medium risk medium return opportunities that are available? Surely the dubki route for immigration - a Trek through the jungles of panama is not something that can be explained by risk return

Brilliant article... Urban India doesn't understand how class and caste privileges work...On the UPSC and other entrance exam aspirants, one student mentioned that they attempt 6 times to get their parents and relatives off their back.. They are down in the dumps.. .they know it but they use the multiple attempts excuse... its more acceptable to society... we are definitely a country of multitudes every 100km

As Blume calls it - India is a country of contradictions.

Highest female pilots (will have to look into data to see why Hindu caste reasoning does not fit there) and lowest female labor participation

Etc etc

The female pilots number is probably a small number in absolute terms compared to overall employable user base. Better is to look at it as % of population, and then compare with other countries.

Yeah that for sure would be lower. The highest female pilot metric that everyone mentions is female pilots as % of total pilots.
