Abstract

In this review note, we reflect on the drivers/barriers to employment in terms of a wide range of factors. This helps us assess the efficacy of the policy reforms and the directions of investments so as to determine the future course of action. Some of the factors which are expected to contribute to employment growth and raise the employment elasticity are missing in the Indian context. On the other hand, certain dynamics tend to have retarded the employment growth, reducing the employment elasticity, significantly. Though this review note is not exhaustive, it makes an attempt to capture some of the key determinants of labour demand and suggest important policy directives. In particular, this chapter reflects on the limited spread of the industrial sector, technology, sluggish trade, labour market regulations and skill shortage. This review sets the perspective in the light of which the analysis has been carried out in the subsequent chapters.
