This book examines the structural changes in the labour market in North-East India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors. Through large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the labour market in the region. The volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies, labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well to those involved with governance and policymaking.
This publication presents recent evidence and analytical work on the impact and future perpectives of demographic trends in the workforce, taking also into account education, skills and geographical mobility.
This volume analyses the relationship between labour market developments and structural change in five ASEAN countries and Australia. It consists of an overview chapter and six country studies. Drawing on individual country experiences, the overview chapter provides a comparative analysis of how structural change in the five ASEAN countries and in Australia has shaped labour market behaviour. It also describes patterns of labour inflows and outflows, and examines their likely impact on the trade patterns and comparative advantage of ASEAN and Australia. The experiences of individual countries are recounted in six case studies, all of which pay particular attention to the effects of government policy interventions in the labour market.
