In Kerala, still, the traditional fishermen dominate the field although in recent times the State has been witnessing the emergence of a dual structure with the traditional sector on the one side and the modern fishing sector on the other. There has been a mismatch between fish production and consumption in the State. The fishermen's per capita income growth has been volatile in the State while the per capita income of an average Keralite has almost remained stable. Marine fish production forms the major share of total fish production in the State. It is obvious that at the all India level, the overall fish production registered a remarkable increase from 107.62 lakh tones in 2015-16 to 137.5 lakh tonnes in 2019-20, a growth of over 30 per cent. But at the same time, Kerala's fish production did not make a substantial improvement which is evident from the fact in 2019-20, its fish production actually declined to 6.8 lakh tones from 7.27 lakh tones in 2015-16. Climate changes, oceanic plastic waste, infrastructural bottlenecks, the vulnerability of fishermen have been identified as emerging issues.

Abstract: Generally, there is a dominance of informal economy across all over the world economies and particularly in respect of first-generation entrepreneurs. We know that a formal economy is essential for comprehensive and inclusive economic development yet third world countries are mostly dominated by the prevalence of informal economy rendering slower economic growth. The present study determines the factors attracting or supporting first-generation entrepreneurs to operate under the informal economy and therefore, the objective of this study is to identify and examine such factors. The data was collected through the survey and to test the significance of variables of the hypothesis we have employed the chi-square test χ2. The study will help the policymakers to enhance the quantum of the formal economy and make suitable policies to discourage the informal economy. The findings of the study conclude that first-generation entrepreneurs do prefer the informal economy over the formal economy due to the various reasons predominantly cost efficiency in the informal sector, urbanisation based retail trade, easy entry and exit, low capital requirement, non-compliance of procedural laws, exclusive control in case of locally operated businesses, etc. Keywords:Entrepreneurship, Formal Economy, Informal Economy, Chi-square test, Forms of Business Organisation Journal: Shanlax International Journal of Economics Pages:14-22 Volume: 10 Issue: 3 Year: 2022 Month: June DOI: 10.34293/economics.v10i3.4814 File-URL: https://www.shanlaxjournals.in/journals/index.php/economics/article/view/4814 File-Format: text/html File-URL: https://www.shanlaxjournals.in/journals/index.php/economics/article/view/4814/4459 File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:acg:journl:v:10:y:2022:i:3:p:14-22 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: C Magesh Kumar Author-Workplace-Name: Annamalai University Author-Name: K Sujatha Author-Workplace-Name: Annamalai University Author-Name: K Rajesh Kumar Author-Workplace-Name: Annamalai University Title: The Indian Stock Market during COVID-19: A Review Abstract: The COVID-19 outbreak shocked the entire global economy and intensified the financial crisis.

Vellachami Nadar College Title: Economics of Health Care in India Abstract: A person's entire development cycle is dependent on his intellectual abilities, curiosity, and constructive thinking, yet all of these attributes are contingent on his physical well-being. Health is a function of society's total integrated development, and health status is one of the quality of life indices. Health is a positive term that emphasises social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities. It is a resource for everyday life, not the goal of living. Human health is inextricably linked to the health of the life-sustaining ecosystems with which we interact and are connected. Furthermore, the health of future generations is contingent on the ecosystems' integrity and sustainability, regardless of how healthy the current generation is. Because health is such an important aspect of development, everyone is concerned about it. The health, ability, and well-being of the people are the most valuable human resources required for every country's development and economic growth.
