Money alone might improve extreme poverty; economic justice requires more. When Upaya looks for companies that create dignified jobs for the poor, we evaluate questions of reliability, safety, and fundamental respect in addition to the economic benefits.
We at Upaya are devastated by the severe second wave of Covid cases sweeping across India, and remain steadfastly committed to supporting our team, our entrepreneurs, and their jobholders during these uncertain times.
Jobholder surveys play a key role in measuring and managing Upaya’s impact. Here’s how and why we took a different approach to surveying jobholders during the pandemic.
The trauma from the second Covid surge is still fresh in India. We conducted surveys with 60 jobholders from six partner companies across India to find out what they are experiencing and what support they need.
