The world is faced with the unprecedented outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease (or COVID 19) which presents an alarming humanitarian crisis at the wake of a declining world economic outlook. The situation is even more profound in developing countries such as India, which are engaged in tackling issues on multiple fronts including healthcare, employment, migration, behavioral change, safeguarding the vulnerable and juggling economic stimulus with fiscal leverage.

India has seen large-scale movement of migrant workers returning to their native states as a result of the pandemic. Moreover, experts feel that migrant workers leaving big cities may not return quickly. This might lead to a situation of jobless workers looking to go back to work in rural areas with businesses crawling back to full capacities and looking for manpower to employ, be it skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled.

In addition to the previous stimulus, the Prime Minister announced a stimulus package of Rs 20 lakh crore – close to 10% of the Indian GDP on May 12, 2020, having a mix of fiscal support, monetary support, ease of doing business processes, as well as some fundamental reforms.

The situation raises few questions that will be covered during the webinar. These include:

  • Can institutional and policy interventions turn the tide of this mismatched labor market to create a flexible, national, labor market that enables labor to find skill indexed jobs that suit their abilities?

  • Can these interventions assist to reconnect the jobless with the jobs and help the economy rebound faster?

  • What role can MSDE play in supporting states/UTs?
