Routledge Globalization, Labour Markets and Inequality in India - Routledge

This Routledge academic study examines India's economic reforms from the mid-1980s onwards, analysing the profound effects of globalisation and domestic policy changes on the nation's GDP growth, poverty levels, inequality and employment patterns. Drawing on original analysis of unit-level quinquennial National data, the book provides a comprehensive investigation into post-reform India's economic trajectory. It explores the controversial impacts of increased exposure to world markets and relaxation of domestic controls, revealing how these transformative developments have reshaped labour markets and income distribution across the country. Essential reading for economists, policy analysts and scholars studying Asia's growth economies and the complex relationships between globalisation, development and social inequality.
