&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The head of Azim Premji&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment on the tremendous distress hiding beneath job market statistics in India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If you looked at just the bare employment figures for India over 2020, you might think that most people recovered from the shock of the national lockdown and the economic crisis that followed. Yet though there was indeed a recovery before the brutal second wave hit, the headline numbers paper over a massive amount of distress and devastation that took place beneath the surface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The State of Working India report, put together by a team from Azim Premji University&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment found that 230 million people were likely pushed into poverty in 2020 alone because of the pandemic. The report details the severe income loss, distressed asset sales, hunger and hit to education that took place even for those who managed to get back to work over the year. It also calls for a strong fiscal response from the government, arguing that a huge amount of relief is necessary for households to avoid being set back by many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I spoke to Amit Basole, who heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment, about the task of collecting data in the pandemic, what the numbers tell us about the tremendous flux hidden beneath the headline employment numbers, why he thinks the government&amp;rsquo;s efforts so far have been inadequate, and what measures he thinks are likely to actually be carried out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Could you tell us a little bit about the Centre for Sustainable Employment?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre for Sustainable Employment was set up at Azim Premji University in 2017. The aim was broadly to do research on economics, on the problems of employment in India, issues like jobless growth, the quality of work and so forth. That was the broad mandate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been bringing out these reports called State of Working India, which deal with various issues regarding the Indian labour market. And along with these reports, we also do other smaller reports, research papers, data of various kinds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The head of Azim Premji&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment on the tremendous distress hiding beneath job market statistics in India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If you looked at just the bare employment figures for India over 2020, you might think that most people recovered from the shock of the national lockdown and the economic crisis that followed. Yet though there was indeed a recovery before the brutal second wave hit, the headline numbers paper over a massive amount of distress and devastation that took place beneath the surface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The State of Working India report, put together by a team from Azim Premji University&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment found that 230 million people were likely pushed into poverty in 2020 alone because of the pandemic. The report details the severe income loss, distressed asset sales, hunger and hit to education that took place even for those who managed to get back to work over the year. It also calls for a strong fiscal response from the government, arguing that a huge amount of relief is necessary for households to avoid being set back by many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I spoke to Amit Basole, who heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment, about the task of collecting data in the pandemic, what the numbers tell us about the tremendous flux hidden beneath the headline employment numbers, why he thinks the government&amp;rsquo;s efforts so far have been inadequate, and what measures he thinks are likely to actually be carried out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Could you tell us a little bit about the Centre for Sustainable Employment?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre for Sustainable Employment was set up at Azim Premji University in 2017. The aim was broadly to do research on economics, on the problems of employment in India, issues like jobless growth, the quality of work and so forth. That was the broad mandate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been bringing out these reports called State of Working India, which deal with various issues regarding the Indian labour market. And along with these reports, we also do other smaller reports, research papers, data of various kinds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The head of Azim Premji&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment on the tremendous distress hiding beneath job market statistics in India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If you looked at just the bare employment figures for India over 2020, you might think that most people recovered from the shock of the national lockdown and the economic crisis that followed. Yet though there was indeed a recovery before the brutal second wave hit, the headline numbers paper over a massive amount of distress and devastation that took place beneath the surface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The State of Working India report, put together by a team from Azim Premji University&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment found that 230 million people were likely pushed into poverty in 2020 alone because of the pandemic. The report details the severe income loss, distressed asset sales, hunger and hit to education that took place even for those who managed to get back to work over the year. It also calls for a strong fiscal response from the government, arguing that a huge amount of relief is necessary for households to avoid being set back by many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I spoke to Amit Basole, who heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment, about the task of collecting data in the pandemic, what the numbers tell us about the tremendous flux hidden beneath the headline employment numbers, why he thinks the government&amp;rsquo;s efforts so far have been inadequate, and what measures he thinks are likely to actually be carried out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Could you tell us a little bit about the Centre for Sustainable Employment?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre for Sustainable Employment was set up at Azim Premji University in 2017. The aim was broadly to do research on economics, on the problems of employment in India, issues like jobless growth, the quality of work and so forth. That was the broad mandate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been bringing out these reports called State of Working India, which deal with various issues regarding the Indian labour market. And along with these reports, we also do other smaller reports, research papers, data of various kinds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The head of Azim Premji&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment on the tremendous distress hiding beneath job market statistics in India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If you looked at just the bare employment figures for India over 2020, you might think that most people recovered from the shock of the national lockdown and the economic crisis that followed. Yet though there was indeed a recovery before the brutal second wave hit, the headline numbers paper over a massive amount of distress and devastation that took place beneath the surface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The State of Working India report, put together by a team from Azim Premji University&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Sustainable Employment found that 230 million people were likely pushed into poverty in 2020 alone because of the pandemic. The report details the severe income loss, distressed asset sales, hunger and hit to education that took place even for those who managed to get back to work over the year. It also calls for a strong fiscal response from the government, arguing that a huge amount of relief is necessary for households to avoid being set back by many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I spoke to Amit Basole, who heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment, about the task of collecting data in the pandemic, what the numbers tell us about the tremendous flux hidden beneath the headline employment numbers, why he thinks the government&amp;rsquo;s efforts so far have been inadequate, and what measures he thinks are likely to actually be carried out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Could you tell us a little bit about the Centre for Sustainable Employment?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre for Sustainable Employment was set up at Azim Premji University in 2017. The aim was broadly to do research on economics, on the problems of employment in India, issues like jobless growth, the quality of work and so forth. That was the broad mandate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been bringing out these reports called State of Working India, which deal with various issues regarding the Indian labour market. And along with these reports, we also do other smaller reports, research papers, data of various kinds.&lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Amit Basole, head of Azim Premji University’s Centre for Sustainable Employment, interviewed by Rohan Venkataramakrishnan (Scroll.in)

-Scroll.in The head of Azim Premji’s Centre for Sustainable Employment on the tremendous distress hiding beneath job market statistics in India. If you looked at just the bare employment figures for India over 2020, you might think that most people recovered from the shock of the national lockdown and the economic crisis that followed. Yet though there was indeed a recovery before the brutal second wave hit, the headline numbers paper over a massive amount of distress and devastation that took place beneath the surface. The State of Working India report, put together by a team from Azim Premji University’s Centre for Sustainable Employment found that 230 million people were likely pushed into poverty in 2020 alone because of the pandemic. The report details the severe income loss, distressed asset sales, hunger and hit to education that took place even for those who managed to get back to work over the year. It also calls for a strong fiscal response from the government, arguing that a huge amount of relief is necessary for households to avoid being set back by many years. I spoke to Amit Basole, who heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment, about the task of collecting data in the pandemic, what the numbers tell us about the tremendous flux hidden beneath the headline employment numbers, why he thinks the government’s efforts so far have been inadequate, and what measures he thinks are likely to actually be carried out. * Could you tell us a little bit about the Centre for Sustainable Employment? The Centre for Sustainable Employment was set up at Azim Premji University in 2017. The aim was broadly to do research on economics, on the problems of employment in India, issues like jobless growth, the quality of work and so forth. That was the broad mandate. We have been bringing out these reports called State of Working India, which deal with various issues regarding the Indian labour market. And along with these reports, we also do other smaller reports, research papers, data of various kinds. Please click here to read more. Image Courtesy: Azim Premji University
