Ms. Charu Tayal is a Ph.D. Research Scholar (Thesis Submitted) in Economics at Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi. She is a UGC-NET qualified economist. She has her prolific research presented and published at various international platforms.

Her research lies at the intersection of development economics, health economics, and public health, with a strong empirical focus on large-scale, unit-level demographic datasets—particularly the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). 

Her doctoral thesis titled: ‘A Study on Maternal Healthcare in India’, examines how maternal healthcare utilization, women’s autonomy, and socio-economic deprivation shape maternal and child health outcomes. She is particularly drawn to maternal health for its far-reaching, multidimensional impact—not only on women’s well-being, but also on nutrition, early development, and demographic development for the country.

She has published in leading international journals including Children’s Health Care (Taylor & Francis), International Journal of Healthcare Management (Taylor & Francis), Global Social Welfare (Springer), International Journal of Social Determinants of Health and Health Services (SAGE), and Journal of Medicine, Surgery and Public Health (Elsevier). She has also presented her research at prominent international conferences hosted by IIT Roorkee, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Shillong, and DTU.

Her long-term goal as a researcher-cum-educationist is to conduct impactful, policy-relevant research to promote inclusive, sustainable growth of world economies.
