G²LM|LIC - Ticket to Thrive: Effect of Safe Public Transportation on Mobility and Employment of Women in Urban India
Listed in IDSC Dataverse
This dataset supports a research project examining how safe public transportation infrastructure affects women’s mobility, labour-force participation, employment opportunities, and urban economic development in Delhi, India.
Description
The study focuses on the expansion of the Delhi Metro Rail System and investigates how improved transit accessibility changes commuting behaviour, labour-market access, firm dynamics, and spatial economic structures.
Particular attention is given to the role of safety and mobility constraints affecting women in urban labor markets. The project combines administrative establishment-level data, geospatial infrastructure layers, and original primary survey data collected between 2025 and 2026. It analyses both labour supply effects — including increased female mobility and employment access — and labour demand effects such as firm entry, female hiring, and commercial activity around metro corridors.

The released data include: Economic Census establishment-level repeated cross-sections (1990, 2005, 2013) Delhi Shops & Establishments registration records (2011–2024) Spatial polygon and metro infrastructure layers Pilot survey data for firms, employees, consumers, commuters, and households SurveyCTO survey instruments and codebooks The project applies spatially granular matching and geocoding procedures to connect firms and households with metro accessibility indicators and treatment exposure measures.
Metro treatment variables include nearest-stop distance, stop density, operational status, and planned-but-not-yet-built infrastructure indicators. Primary data collection was conducted around operational and under-construction metro stations to support quasi-experimental comparisons between currently connected and soon-to-be-connected neighborhoods.
