Structure of Employment In India: Some Issues

Dr. Dodmani Srinivas Rao

Abstract :

Employment has always featured as an element of development policy in India. The priority and attention it has received in development plans have, however, varied from time to time and so have the approaches and strategies as well as policies and programmes for employment generation. When India embarked on a strategy of industrializationbased development in 1950’s, employment was not perceived to be a major issue in so far as a relatively faster growth of economy as envisaged in the consecutive Five Year Plans was expected to generate enough employment, particularly in industry, to take care of a small backlog of unemployment at the time and increase in labour force that was expected to be relatively modest. Ensuring a regular and adequate supply of suitably skilled workforce was conceived to be a matter of greater concern. Improving the quality of employment, in terms of reasonable and rising level of wages and a minimum measure of social security against the common risks of work and life was, however, considered an important concern of state policy.
