Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, a fascinating growth story has unfolded in India. Yet, the improvement in material conditions for the country’s vast majority has not kept pace with that growth. This is mainly because India is still grappling with poor employment conditions and widespread unemployment. However, there is not much clarity on the exact nature of this problem and the steps required to tackle it. This short introduction addresses this lack of information. Reviewing the evolution of employment conditions in India since Independence, this volume underscores the linkages between it and economic growth and development. It not only clearly outlines the contours of the employment challenge that India is now confronted with but also discusses viable ways of overcoming this hurdle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of the National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector, which was set up by the Government of India on 20th September 2004 under the chairmanship of Dr. Arjun K. Sengupta to review the status of unorganized/informal sector in India including the nature of enterprises, their size, spread and scope, and magnitude of employment. This was the first step taken towards fulfilling the commitment of the new UPA government to ensure the welfare and well-being of all workers, particularly those in the unorganised sector, who constitute more than 93% of our workforce (likely to be around 502 million by 2012 as the Commission estimates). During the four and a half year of its existence, the Commission examined in detail all the literature and statistical evidence that exists on this sector, held numerous consultations with different stakeholders, such as government officials and policy makers at the Centre and in the States, trade unions and associations of workers representatives, civil society organisations, academics and experts. This final report on `The Challenge of Employment in India: An Informal Economy Perspective` is now presented as an overarching report based on all the earlier work of the Commission, to provide a perspective and strategy for expanding employment in India. The report takes an aggregative perspective of what the Commission calls the central problem of the challenge of employment namely, deficit in its quantity and quality. The comprehensive report also examines the issue of labour market reforms in India. The most important conclusion that follows from the findings of the Commission is that all efforts to improve the quantity and quality of employment in the unorganised sector would require a new approach to economic planning in India. The report offers numerous suggestions and concrete recommendations towards attaining the objective of `maximizing employment` and ensuring inclusive growth.
Download or read book Health Safety and Well Being of Workers in the Informal Sector in India written by Sigamani Panneer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the core problems of occupational health, safety and well-being of workers in the informal sector in developing countries, where it accounts for most of the rural labour force and a substantial percentage of the urban labour force. The sector is characterised by low incomes, unstable employment and lack of protection in the form of legislation/policies or trade unions. Though some health and problem-solving measures have been introduced, a focused academic effort to address the problems confronting workers in the unorganised sector, or informal economy, is lacking. The book evaluates workers’ physical and mental health in the context of labour migration, social inclusion of minorities and the differently abled, provisions for women workers, demonetisation, occupational safety for hazardous work, and in connection with various areas of informal work, e.g. agriculture, construction, transportation, sanitation, tanning, the tobacco industry, powerloom industry, surrogacy, and self-employment. It provides a well-rounded description of an analytical reflection on the challenges these workers face and focuses on social policy changes to help alleviate them. Accordingly, it offers a valuable asset for researchers and students interested in development studies, the sociology of work, health and labour economics, public health, and social work.
Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Work and Employment in Globalizing India written by Ernesto Noronha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases issues of work and employment in contemporary India through a critical lens, serving as a systematic, scholarly and rigorous resource which provides an alternate view to the glowing metanarrative of the subcontinent’s ongoing economic growth in today’s globalized world. Critical approaches ensure that divergent and marginalized voices are highlighted, promoting a more measured perspective of entrenched standpoints. In casting social reality differently, a quest for solutions that reshape current dynamics is triggered. The volume spans five thematic areas, subsuming a range of economic sectors. India is a pre-eminent destination for offshoring, underscoring the relevance of global production networks (Theme 1). Yet, the creation of jobs has not transformed employment patterns in the country but rather accentuated informalization and casualization (Theme 2). Indeed, even India’s ICT-related sectors, perceived as mascots of modernity and vehicles for upward mobility, raise questions about the extent of social upgrading (Theme 3). Nonetheless, these various developments have not been accompanied by collective action – instead, there is growing evidence of diminished pluralistic employment relations strategies (Theme 4). Emergent concerns about work and employment such as gestational surrogacy and expatriate experiences attest to the evolving complexities associated with offshoring (Theme 5).

Download or read book Job Creation and Poverty Reduction in India written by Sadiq Ahmed and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid growth since 1980 has transformed India the 50th ranked economy in nominal US dollars to the 12th largest in the world in 2003. When income is measured with regard to purchasing power parity, the Indian economy occupies fourth place, after the United States, Japan, and China. Along with growing incomes, India’s increasingly outward orientation and the growing optimism about its economy has led to a surge in international investors interest. At the same time evidence suggests that income inequality is rising and the gap in average per capita income between the rich and poor states is growing. This book of collected articles provides an in-depth treatment of growth and employment issues in India. It reviews India’s long-term growth experience, emerging constraints and challenges, and the way forward for sustaining rapid growth along with more and better employment. Specifically, the book identifies ways in which the investment climate can be further improved to raise productivity and reduce the cost of doing business, thereby promoting domestic and foreign private investment. It looks at the growth and productivity challenges in agriculture and suggests policies that will help raise farm productivity and incomes. Higher farm productivity and incomes along with more and better non-farm jobs will reduce poverty at a faster pace than in the recent past. It explains the reason for the low overall employment elasticity of past growth and why there has been limited expansion of good jobs, and concludes by suggesting reform option for increasing employment.

Readers will acquire comprehensive information on the nature and extent of graduate employability in terms of country-specific challenges, together with a deeper understanding of their complex causes, and the inter-relatedness between governments, educational systems, industry sectors, and potential employers. They will also be provided with a broad range of stakeholder strategies designed to effectively address these challenges within integrated national and regional approaches.
Download or read book Employment Of Migrant labourers written by Dr Harsh Mani Singh and published by BFC Publications. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 triggered pandemic has overturned the social and economic pools, the two main poles of our human life. People facing quarantine, isolation and different other hygiene protocols are forced to face lockdown as the only option of prevention. While the lockdown has put all the economic activities of the entire world at grinding halt, the formidable employment crisis has started coming up. Out of the different aspects of unemployment arising out of this lockdown, the reverse migration of labourers is alarming. An economy facing the problem of unemployment in the preCovid period has been trying hard to create new opportunities of employment using different strategies oriented towards self employment, rather making our youth as employment provider and not the employment seekers. (1) One of the most coveted and sought for area is Artificial Intelligence which can be used at Larger scale to create self employed youths and group of youths. This streategy definitely needs learning and training. But there is large scale ambitious training programs of low skill, skill and high skill development among the youths of the country. Emergence of Gig economy is the best example of such novel initiatives.In the era of social distancing,on the one hand , the artificial intelligence is bound to be promoted further and on the other hand the problem of reverse migration is creating an unprecedented kind of employment problem before the country. In India the service seekers are rapidly moving towards a gig economy for reasons such as - (i) Cost-cutting (ii) Skilled workforce (iii) No middleman (iv) Flexibility of timing, work space and amount of service. (v) Time saving. etc. India has a great potential for going towards Gig economy due to the tendency of expanding supply of freelancer service providers with lower-skilled labour.In this context the reverse migration of labour force can be a boon in disguise. Small cities, towns and even in villages too the promotion and practice of freelance service providers can be instrumental in creating local level job opportunities for surplus local workforce (migrated labour). (2) Another important area may be the Rural Roads, Rural Houses, Toilets, Rain Water harvesting reservoirs, Solar Energy System Installation, Warehouse building etc. constructions where large number of labourers can be absorbed by curtailing the gestation period of such ongoing and upcoming projects. (3) Import substituting small production units like Toys,Electrical small and basic items like bulbs, switches,plugs and sockets, wires of household uses, home decor small materials etc. can be produced at local levels by absorbing local workforce. Now it is important to see that how India can establish a novel, viable and productive balance between all the above possible alternatives and reverse migration of labourers. The basic objective of this Webinar is to have a fruitful discussion and discourse over the different aspects and instruments of employment creation for migrant labourers through different means and reach a policy oriented useful conclusion.

Download or read book Employment Pattern in India Under the Influence of Financial Slowdown in the Country written by Dr. Yogendra Nath Mann and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world faces a challenge of creating 600 million jobs over the next decade The world enters the year 2012 facing a serious jobs challenge and widespread decent work deficits. After three years of continuous crisis conditions in global labour markets and against the prospect of a further deterioration of economic activity, there is a backlog of global un-employment of 200 million - an increase of 27 million since the start of the crisis. In addition, more than 400 million new jobs will be needed over the next decade to avoid a further increase in unemployment. Hence, to generate sustainable growth while maintaining social cohesion, the world must rise to the urgent challenge of creating 600 million productive jobs over the next decade, which would still leave 900 million workers living with their families below the US$2 a day poverty line, largely in developing countries. Global labour markets show little improvement. Against these labour market challenges, the outlook for global job creation has been worsening. The baseline projection shows no change in the global unemployment rate between now and 2016, remaining at 6 per cent of the global labour force. This would lead to an additional 3 million unemployed around the world in 2012, or a total of 200 million, rising to 206 million by 2016. If downside risks materialize and global growth falls to below 2 per cent in 2012, global unemployment would rise more rapidly to more than 204 million in 2012, at least 4 million more than under the baseline scenario, with a further increase to 209 million in 2013, 6 million more than under the baseline scenario. Alternatively, under a more benign scenario - which assumes a quick resolution of the euro debt crisis - global unemployment would be around 1 million lower than under the baseline scenario in 2012, and 1.7 million lower in 2013. This would still not be sufficient to significantly alter the trajectory of the global unemployment rate, which is projected to remain stuck at around 6 per cent.
Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
