Book Labour Regulation in Indian Industry

Download or read book Labour Regulation in Indian Industry written by T. S. Papola and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium of ten volumes represents the final output of the project on Labour Regulation in Indian Industry carried out by the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (ISID) with the financial support from EU-India office under their Small Project Facility Programme (SPF). It brings together the findings and conclusions of eight studies on different aspects of the subject with reference to India undertaken by the Institute and the ninth one on the European experience commissioned by the International Institute for Labour Studies, ILO, Geneva, the external partner in the project. The tenth volume presents the salient aspects of the nature, extent and consequences of labour regulation, as brought out in different studies and puts forward an agenda for reforms in the regulatory system for employment in Indian industry which could be both pro-growth and pro-worker. The subject of labour regulation has been under intense debate and discussion for over more than a decade. Arguments have, however, been on partisan lines, as broadly presented above, representing the views of industry and neo-liberal economists and 'reformists', on the one hand, and those of trade unions and other supporters of labour and 'institutional' economics, on the other. Government, always keen to take a reconciliatory position has not been able to take a decisive step. It has recognised the need for 'labour reforms', and also seem to be inclined towards permitting greater 'flexibility'; but has not succeeded in bringing in legislation towards that end, mainly because of the conflicting stands of the main stakeholders, industry and labour. A reason for this uncertainty lies in the lack of adequate documentation, research and informed discussion to improve understanding of the issues and implications. No doubt, the issues involved are, to a large extent, political in nature; but a better understanding of the empirical situation and economic and social pros and cons of the reforms would certainty help make the debate less polemical and more result-oriented. This compendium brings together the findings of several studies that were undertaken to review labour legislation and policy in terms of their objectives, coverage, contents and practices; critically appraise the past research and documentation on the impact of labour regulation measures on growth and employment in industry; study the impact of labour regulations on the growth and employment in small and micro enterprises; assess the effectiveness of legislative measures for ensuring labour standards; undertake case studies on labour regulation and industrial growth and employment in four selected states, i.e., Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal; and study of measures of labour regulation in European countries with special reference to France, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Book Globalisation  Industrial Restructuring and Labour Standards

Download or read book Globalisation Industrial Restructuring and Labour Standards written by Debdas Banerjee and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-07-13 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the current conditions of work in the Indian factory sector, and provides a critical analysis of the wage, profit and productivity behaviour in India’s organised manufacturing sector over the last two decades. Examining the specificities of the conditions of industrial workers, it addresses three major questions:/-//-/- What has happened to the relative shares of profits and wages;/-/- How do we explain the levels and changes and;/-/- Are better labour standards antithetical to the project of industrial restructuring?/-//-/The author also examines the problem of industrial restructuring in India within the broader context of power and inequality in the workplace. He argues that even though the existing laws mandate decent labour conditions, India has been unable to implement them because of the minimalist position taken by successive governments./-//-/Providing new and fascinating insights into industrial growth, labour standards and development in the framework of globalisation, this book will interest students and scholars of economics, economic history, political science and sociology, as well as students of management and labour relations.

Book Issues in Law and Public Policy on Contract Labour in India

Download or read book Issues in Law and Public Policy on Contract Labour in India written by Pankaj Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the increasing use of contract labour in India that has accompanied attempts to liberalise the economy. After briefly examining Indian labour laws and public policy, it juxtaposes the country’s labour market practices with international labour standards. The questions that are raised are then explored through a series of empirical studies investigating the use of contract labour in a variety of industries and locations, manifesting a wide-spectrum of concerns including labour standards, productivity and employment relations. The set of comparative research studies within India are supplemented with a field study from the Shenzhen and Guangzhou industrial regions of South China, which are in an advanced stage of industrial development. The unprecedented inflow of capital into China has captivated many developing countries, including India, which has gone on to mimic similar strategies particularly in terms of labour market deregulation. In this context, a set of crucial questions arise – can enforcing ‘labour market flexibility’ in itself provide the required impetus for a nation’s industrial growth? Is the Chinese success in becoming the major destination for foreign direct investments (FDIs) a consequence of a flexible labour regime or is there some other concealed strength to be found in Chinese labour market institutions? In particular it needs to be noted that after double-digit growth for more than 25 consecutive years, China has recognised some of the fallacy of its development path and in 2008 adopted fairly stringent labour laws, which now regulate its labour market. This Chinese trajectory perhaps has lessons for India and other countries that are still struggling on the liberal path. In particular, the Chinese example helps put the Indian field studies in perspective and provides insights into India-specific policy recommendations that could also be useful for the developing world. The book concludes with the observation that where production entails long-term relationships, the interests of both the employer and the workers need to be maintained sustainably. As the title suggests, the book provides takeaways, not only for academics and researchers working in this field but also for lawyers, consultants, politicians, bureaucrats, and policymakers.

Book Enhancing Capabilities through Labour Law

Download or read book Enhancing Capabilities through Labour Law written by Supriya Routh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002 the International Labour Organization issued a report titled ‘Decent work and the informal economy’ in which it stressed the need to ensure appropriate employment and income, rights at work, and effective social protection in informal economic activities. Such a call by the ILO is urgent in the context of countries such as India, where the majority of workers are engaged in informal economic activities, and where expansion of informal economic activities is coupled with deteriorating working conditions and living standards. This book explores the informal economic activity of India as a case study to examine typical requirements in the work-lives of informal workers, and to develop a means to institutionalise the promotion of these requirements through labour law. Drawing upon Amartya Sen’s theoretical outlook, the book considers whether a capability approach to human development may be able to promote recognition and work-life conditions of a specific category of informal workers in India by integrating specific informal workers within a social dialogue framework along with a range of other social partners including state and non-state institutions. While examining the viability of a human development based labour law in an Indian context, the book also indicates how the proposals put forth in the book may be relevant for informal workers in other developing countries. This research monograph will be of great interest to scholars of labour law, informal work and workers, law and development, social justice, and labour studies.

Book Resource Misallocation in India  The Role of Cross State Labor Market Reform

Download or read book Resource Misallocation in India The Role of Cross State Labor Market Reform written by Mr.Adil Mohommad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the macro level, productivity is driven by technology and the efficiency of resource allocation, as outcomes of firms’ decision making. The relatively high level of resource misallocation in India’s formal manufacturing sector is well documented. We build on this research to further investigate the drivers of misallocation, exploiting micro-level variation across Indian states. We find that states with less rigid labor markets have lesser misallocation. We also examine the interaction of labor market rigidities with informality which is a key feature of India’s labor markets. Our results suggest that reducing labor market rigidities in states with high informality has a net positive effect on aggregate productivity.
