Abstract

India emancipated from the prolonged phase of conservative Hindu rate of growth almost a quarter century back. However, given its vast labour supplies the labour demand, particularly for those who are less skilled and poorly endowed with human capital, has been growing sluggishly. To be specific, whether economic growth is able to generate employment opportunities on a large scale, particularly for the unskilled, semi-skilled and the less-educated labour force, is an important question that has been bothering the development economists since long. Second, what impact the economic reforms in various sectors have made on the employment front is another important aspect that needs a thorough investigation. Accordingly, the future strategy has to be developed and sectors and policies that hold potentiality and prospects for employment growth need to be identified. After all, for economic growth to be inclusive or pro-poor, productive employment generation has to take place in a significant way.
