Research led by Dr Arjunan Subramanian of WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) in the University of Warwick found that the use of GM insect-resistant Bacillus thuringiensis toxin (Bt) cotton  generated not only higher income for rural workers but also more employment, especially for hired female labor. The research results come from two household surveys.
