India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. For this growth to be sustainable and for its benefits to disperse across the population economic growth needs to be accompanied with creation of decent and well-paying jobs. But on this front India’s record has been poor. The State of Working India (SWI) 2018 report documents the status of labor market in India. Its major conclusions are that growth is creating fewer jobs in the economy than it used to before the liberalization period and unemployment rates are increasing, especially among the educated youth. Wage levels in the economy are low and have severely lagged productivity growth rates in the economy. Manufacturing sector is becoming more capital intensive. Gender gaps in wages and labor force participation are high across India. Women’s labor force participation has declined substantially according to the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO). The data also suggests the existence of disparities along other lines. Individuals belonging to lower caste and Muslims tend to over represented in low paying jobs.
