Jobs and Livelihoods
The Indian labour market is charcaterised by abysmally low participation of women
in the labour market, enormity of low wage informal employment, and scarcity of
decent regular wage employment. The collection of essays discuss the labour market
scenario in India from different angles, highlighting the need for integrated labour
policies. It has been recongnised that skill development, inclusion of women, agricultural
employment and social security need special focus. The articles have been developed
from research studies and survey analyses by scholars and academicians dealing with
the issue of labour and employment.
