Financial Inclusion Index (CRISIL Method)

CRISIL Inclusix is a relative index that incorporates various forms of basic financial services into one single metric. CRISIL Inclusix is India’s first comprehensive measure of financial inclusion in the form of an index. It is a relative index that has a scale of 0 to 100, and combines three very critical parameters of basic banking services — branch penetration (BP), deposit penetration (DP), and credit penetration (CP) — together into one single metric. For each of these parameters, CRISIL evaluates financial inclusion at the national/ regional/ state/ district level vis-à-vis a defined ideal. A CRISIL Inclusix score of 100 indicates the ideal state for each of the national/ regional/ state/ district level vis-à-vis a defined ideal. A CRISIL Inclusix score of 100 indicates the ideal state for each of the three parameters.

Auxiliary nursing midwives

Auxiliary Nurse Midwives have some training in secondary school. A period of on-thejob training may be included, and sometimes formalised in apprenticeships. Like an auxiliary nurse, an auxiliary nurse midwife has basic nursing skills and no training in nursing decisionmaking. Auxiliary nurse midwives assist in the provision of maternal and newborn health care, particularly during childbirth but also in the prenatal and postpartum periods. They possess some of the competencies in midwifery but are not fully qualified as midwives. (Source WHO cadres in maternal and newborn health)

Labor Force ages 15+ Rural & Urban: Mean Years of Schooling

The labor force participation rate is the percentage of working-age persons in an economy who are employed, or are unemployed but looking for a job. Typically "working-age persons" is defined as people between the ages of 16-59.
The estimates of LFPR in different approaches provide information on the following aspects:
i) number of persons in labour-force - i.e., employed or unemployed-- according to
usual principal status (PS) and according to the principal and subsidiary status (SS) taken together (PS+SS),
People in those age groups who are not counted as participating in the labor force are typically students, homemakers, and persons under the age of 59 who are retired.

Industrial design applications, nonresident, by count

Industrial design applications are applications to register an industrial design with a national or regional Intellectual Property (IP) offices and designations received by relevant offices through the Hague System. Industrial designs are applied to a wide variety of industrial products and handicrafts. They refer to the ornamental or aesthetic aspects of a useful article, including compositions of lines or colors or any three-dimensional forms that give a special appearance to a product or handicraft. The holder of a registered industrial design has exclusive rights against unauthorized copying or imitation of the design by third parties. Industrial design registrations are valid for a limited period. The term of protection is usually 15 years for most jurisdictions. However, differences in legislation do exist, notably in China (which provides for a 10-year term from the application date). Non-resident application refers to an application filed with the IP office of or acting on behalf of a state or jurisdiction in which the first-named applicant in the application is not domiciled. Design count is used to render application data for industrial applications across offices comparable, as some offices follow a single-class/single-design filing system while other have a multiple class/design filing system.
