Abstract: This perspective is an attempt at understanding the linkages between trade in value added and employment in India’s manufacturing sector. The same uses the techniques of panel data and simple time series regression analyses. The main contention of this study is that trade in value added influences employment in the manufacturing sector positively.The potential impact of this research on India’s future industrial policies is immense, especially considering the country’s strong focus on the manufacturing sector in recent years. Initiatives such as Make in India and Production Linked Incentive schemes highlight this emphasis. The outcomes of this research would greatly assist the stakeholders in India’s manufacturing in devising and executing pro-industrial policies, with a key focus on socio-economic factors, particularly employment, given the growing significance of Global Value Chains (GVCs) in the coming years.
