ER in India

Hi everyone

This blog discusses ER in India. Typically Indias ER has been influenced by their British roots however a number of changes have taken place in the past decade. For instance, India has a number of unions numbering around 100 000, their workforce is made up of 50% of agricultural workers in the informal sector, promotes Union involvement in the bargaining process and determines wages by establishing a benchmark In the public sector which will determine the min wage in the private sector. India has responded to globalisation by encouraging privatisation and foreign investment and has recognised the importance of converging with western practices rather than diverging away from them. They have also recognised the need to protect their employees and encourage fair working rights and conditions for all.... But the question I pose to you is have they done enough? Or have they merely taken a small step in the right direction?

Thanks for reading :)
