The Future of Fixed-term Employment in India

Kanupriya Jain, Piyali Ghosh and Shankha Shuvra Misra

Vikalpa: The Journal for Decision Makers, 2023, vol. 48, issue 2, 87-99

Abstract: The industrial relations (IR) environment in India and its labour market, have been undergoing significant transformations in multiple domains for around two decades after the economic liberalization. Gillan and Lambert (2013) observe several restructurings at the workplace level in the country. These include, among others, farming out job functions or services to any third party through outsourcing, engaging contract labour in the organized sector, the tendency among managers to avoid acknowledging the right of trade unions to collectively bargain and the prevalence of voluntary retirement schemes for having numerical flexibility of the workforce.
