Employment is a critical part of the macro-economy, and is a key driver of economic development. India’s employment policy over the past two decades has presented a particularly fascinating case study for understanding how government attitudes towards the labour market contribute to an emerging economy’s growth and development.

Shifting the focus of analysis from the labour experience to employment policy, the book considers India’s approach to employment policy from a national and global perspective, considering how far current policy supports employment intensive growth. India’s increasing integration into the global economy makes it essential to consider global and regional economic dynamics and how they shape the Indian labour market.
