Changing Labour Market and Industrial Relations, Changing Times: Make in India and Ensuing Labour Reforms

Kuriakose Mamkoottam

Management and Labour Studies, 2017, vol. 42, issue 1, 59-67

Abstract: This article argues that the ‘Make-in-India’ and the proposed labour reforms are unlikely to succeed given the unequal structure of the Indian labour market, with the large majority of the Indian labour force remaining in the unorganized sector and unprotected by the labour laws. It is further argued that the introduction of some of the proposed labour reforms are likely to create further imbalance in the bargaining power in favour of management, which may not help to develop a balanced labour market, and may further increase the social and economic inequality.
