SubscribeOutlook magazine's latest cover story is a package based on a survey that we conducted with market-research platform Toluna. The Outlook-Toluna Survey on Women and Family throws up some surprising facts and demolishes a number of myths. Some of the interesting findings are: Urban women want greater policy focus on human development-health and education rather than cash transfers or tax benefits to be mothers. Women want to be mothers not because cultural or societal pressures but because they want to start their own families. Then we discuss why working women are postponing motherhood and what they expect from employers. These and more stories in the latest Outlook issue.

SubscribeYour food may not be safe. The system knows it. Yet the food chain keeps moving. From five-star kitchens to roadside dhabas, food passes through a chain where contamination, adulteration and poor hygiene can enter at every stage, with consequences ranging from diarrhoea and jaundice to typhoid and hepatitis. Into this maze has stepped Tukaram Mundhe. Since taking charge as Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration commissioner in May, Mundhe has overseen more than 12,000 inspections and raids, cancelled or suspended around 600 licences and sealed more than 300 eateries. But raids cannot fix a broken system. India has the laws, standards and regulators. Yet violations persist, enforcement remains uneven and corruption finds its way through the gaps. Mundhe can keep cracking the whip. But can one man change the system? In this issue, Outlook examines India’s food-safety maze, where it fails and why one Tukaram is not enough.

SubscribeClimate change is making the Himalayas even more vulnerable. Glaciers are melting twice as quickly as in 2000.Rising temperatures are accelerating glacier retreat and altering snow and ice conditions, increasing the potential for landslides, avalanches and glacial floods. But there is another reason for the degradation of the Himalayas. China. Our northern neighbour's insatiable hunger to build humongous infrastructure on ecologically fragile systems has caused harm to the subcontinent as well as the larger Southeast Asia region. The calamity in Nepal offers a stark warning of the risks of China's large, opaque projects, delayed information and environmental disruption. The country is putting millions of lives and billions of dollars of economic activity in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar at stake.
