Kerala's Economic Development encompasses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the regional economy of Kerala. The pandemic and associated lockdowns across the world have sharply restricted economic activities, leading to the worst recession since 1945-46. The book delves into how the pandemic has affected the economy of Kerala, as it created unprecedented health crisis, return of Keralite emigrant workers from Gulf countries, fall in output in secondary and tertiary sectors, disruption in transport services of all modes of transport, decline in international tourists, fall in employment opportunities and fiscal crisis in the region. The book also entails information and discussion on other development issues in Kerala, like the demographic changes, second-generation challenges of Kerala's decentralization, finances of local governments, performance of agricultural sector, rubber plantations, rice and coconut crops, power sector, transport sector, IT sector, MSME's, higher education scenario, gender issues and poverty. The text is lucid and reader-friendly and can be used as a basic reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students for courses on Kerala's Economy, as well as for those appearing for competitive exams.
