Routledge Globalization, Labour Markets and Inequality in India

Explore the complex economic landscape of post-reform India with this academic study from Routledge. Since the mid-eighties and into the nineties, India has undergone significant internal and external reforms. This book provides a deep look at how increased exposure to world markets and the relaxation of domestic controls have shaped the nation. While these changes helped drive GDP growth, their effects on employment, poverty, and inequality remain subjects of intense debate. This text examines these specific aspects in detail, identifying the trends and shifts created by new economic developments. It offers an original analysis based on unit-level data from the quinquennial National Sample Survey, making it a valuable resource for understanding the real-world impact of globalization on the Indian workforce and social structure.
