Roychowdhury, Anamitra
Labour law reforms in India: all in the name of jobs by Anamitra Roychowdhury - New Delhi Routledge 2018 - xxii, 313 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
This book provides a theoretical framework to understanding labour market flexibility and empirically examines to what extent India’s ‘jobless growth’ may be attributed to labour laws. there is a pervasive view that the country’s low manufacturing base and inability to generate jobs is primarily due to rigid labour laws. therefore, job creation is sought to be boosted by reforming labour laws. However, the book argues that if labour laws are made flexible, then there are adverse consequences for workers: dismantled job security weakens workers’ bargaining power, incapacitates trade union movement, skews class distribution of output, dilutes workers’ rights and renders them vulnerable.
