&lt;em&gt;Deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, Sher Singh Verick on India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sher Singh Verick, deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, strives to unr&amp;shy;avel India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery. Excerpts from an e-mail interview:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On high growth, low jobs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Economic growth through investment, consumption and exports generally res&amp;shy;ults in more jobs, but the relationship isn&amp;rsquo;t linear: the nature of growth will also impact the number and quality of jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In India&amp;rsquo;s case, a big puzzle for the government and academics was picture created by labour market data covering the 2000s. In particular, the National Sample Survey data indicated a net increase in employment of just 1.1 million from 2004-05 to 2009-10. Many commentators see this as evidence of &amp;ldquo;jobless growth&amp;rdquo; and, indeed, taken at face value, labour market figures from the second half of the 2000s do give that impression. But digging deeper reveals a far more complex story. During the 2000s, employment did grow strongly in India, but this was more concentrated in urban areas and for men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is often forgotten that employment grew very strongly during the end of this period, with total employment in India increasing from 459 million in 2009-10 to 472.9 million in 2011-12. Thus, compared to the increase of just 1.1 million over a five-year period (2004-05 to 2011-12), employment rose, in net terms, by almost 13 million in just two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, looking at aggregate figures for India is misleading, especially because data has been infrequent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On job trends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One positive trend is the falling share of unorganised sector workers, from 86.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 82.2 per cent in 2011-12. It shows the ave&amp;shy;rage Indian enterprise is getting bigger. Another pos&amp;shy;itive trend is the rising share of regular-wage/salaried workers in the labour market, now accounting for 17.9 per cent of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One disconcerting trend is the rise in the share of informal workers in the org&amp;shy;anised sector because of a greater use of contract and other forms of casual labour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On contract labour&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&amp;shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&amp;rsquo; skills.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, Sher Singh Verick on India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sher Singh Verick, deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, strives to unr&amp;shy;avel India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery. Excerpts from an e-mail interview:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On high growth, low jobs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Economic growth through investment, consumption and exports generally res&amp;shy;ults in more jobs, but the relationship isn&amp;rsquo;t linear: the nature of growth will also impact the number and quality of jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In India&amp;rsquo;s case, a big puzzle for the government and academics was picture created by labour market data covering the 2000s. In particular, the National Sample Survey data indicated a net increase in employment of just 1.1 million from 2004-05 to 2009-10. Many commentators see this as evidence of &amp;ldquo;jobless growth&amp;rdquo; and, indeed, taken at face value, labour market figures from the second half of the 2000s do give that impression. But digging deeper reveals a far more complex story. During the 2000s, employment did grow strongly in India, but this was more concentrated in urban areas and for men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is often forgotten that employment grew very strongly during the end of this period, with total employment in India increasing from 459 million in 2009-10 to 472.9 million in 2011-12. Thus, compared to the increase of just 1.1 million over a five-year period (2004-05 to 2011-12), employment rose, in net terms, by almost 13 million in just two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, looking at aggregate figures for India is misleading, especially because data has been infrequent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On job trends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One positive trend is the falling share of unorganised sector workers, from 86.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 82.2 per cent in 2011-12. It shows the ave&amp;shy;rage Indian enterprise is getting bigger. Another pos&amp;shy;itive trend is the rising share of regular-wage/salaried workers in the labour market, now accounting for 17.9 per cent of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One disconcerting trend is the rise in the share of informal workers in the org&amp;shy;anised sector because of a greater use of contract and other forms of casual labour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On contract labour&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&amp;shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&amp;rsquo; skills.

&lt;em&gt;Deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, Sher Singh Verick on India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sher Singh Verick, deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, strives to unr&amp;shy;avel India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery. Excerpts from an e-mail interview:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On high growth, low jobs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Economic growth through investment, consumption and exports generally res&amp;shy;ults in more jobs, but the relationship isn&amp;rsquo;t linear: the nature of growth will also impact the number and quality of jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In India&amp;rsquo;s case, a big puzzle for the government and academics was picture created by labour market data covering the 2000s. In particular, the National Sample Survey data indicated a net increase in employment of just 1.1 million from 2004-05 to 2009-10. Many commentators see this as evidence of &amp;ldquo;jobless growth&amp;rdquo; and, indeed, taken at face value, labour market figures from the second half of the 2000s do give that impression. But digging deeper reveals a far more complex story. During the 2000s, employment did grow strongly in India, but this was more concentrated in urban areas and for men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is often forgotten that employment grew very strongly during the end of this period, with total employment in India increasing from 459 million in 2009-10 to 472.9 million in 2011-12. Thus, compared to the increase of just 1.1 million over a five-year period (2004-05 to 2011-12), employment rose, in net terms, by almost 13 million in just two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, looking at aggregate figures for India is misleading, especially because data has been infrequent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On job trends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One positive trend is the falling share of unorganised sector workers, from 86.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 82.2 per cent in 2011-12. It shows the ave&amp;shy;rage Indian enterprise is getting bigger. Another pos&amp;shy;itive trend is the rising share of regular-wage/salaried workers in the labour market, now accounting for 17.9 per cent of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One disconcerting trend is the rise in the share of informal workers in the org&amp;shy;anised sector because of a greater use of contract and other forms of casual labour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On contract labour&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&amp;shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&amp;rsquo; skills.

&lt;em&gt;Deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, Sher Singh Verick on India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sher Singh Verick, deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, strives to unr&amp;shy;avel India&amp;rsquo;s high but &amp;ldquo;jobless&amp;rdquo; growth mystery. Excerpts from an e-mail interview:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On high growth, low jobs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Economic growth through investment, consumption and exports generally res&amp;shy;ults in more jobs, but the relationship isn&amp;rsquo;t linear: the nature of growth will also impact the number and quality of jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In India&amp;rsquo;s case, a big puzzle for the government and academics was picture created by labour market data covering the 2000s. In particular, the National Sample Survey data indicated a net increase in employment of just 1.1 million from 2004-05 to 2009-10. Many commentators see this as evidence of &amp;ldquo;jobless growth&amp;rdquo; and, indeed, taken at face value, labour market figures from the second half of the 2000s do give that impression. But digging deeper reveals a far more complex story. During the 2000s, employment did grow strongly in India, but this was more concentrated in urban areas and for men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is often forgotten that employment grew very strongly during the end of this period, with total employment in India increasing from 459 million in 2009-10 to 472.9 million in 2011-12. Thus, compared to the increase of just 1.1 million over a five-year period (2004-05 to 2011-12), employment rose, in net terms, by almost 13 million in just two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, looking at aggregate figures for India is misleading, especially because data has been infrequent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On job trends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One positive trend is the falling share of unorganised sector workers, from 86.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 82.2 per cent in 2011-12. It shows the ave&amp;shy;rage Indian enterprise is getting bigger. Another pos&amp;shy;itive trend is the rising share of regular-wage/salaried workers in the labour market, now accounting for 17.9 per cent of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One disconcerting trend is the rise in the share of informal workers in the org&amp;shy;anised sector because of a greater use of contract and other forms of casual labour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* On contract labour&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&amp;shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&amp;rsquo; skills.

<em>Deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, Sher Singh Verick on India&rsquo;s high but &ldquo;jobless&rdquo; growth mystery<br />
</em><br />
Sher Singh Verick, deputy director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country Office for India, strives to unr&shy;avel India&rsquo;s high but &ldquo;jobless&rdquo; growth mystery. Excerpts from an e-mail interview:<br />
<br />
<em>* On high growth, low jobs<br />
</em><br />
Economic growth through investment, consumption and exports generally res&shy;ults in more jobs, but the relationship isn&rsquo;t linear: the nature of growth will also impact the number and quality of jobs.<br />
<br />
In India&rsquo;s case, a big puzzle for the government and academics was picture created by labour market data covering the 2000s. In particular, the National Sample Survey data indicated a net increase in employment of just 1.1 million from 2004-05 to 2009-10. Many commentators see this as evidence of &ldquo;jobless growth&rdquo; and, indeed, taken at face value, labour market figures from the second half of the 2000s do give that impression. But digging deeper reveals a far more complex story. During the 2000s, employment did grow strongly in India, but this was more concentrated in urban areas and for men.<br />
<br />
It is often forgotten that employment grew very strongly during the end of this period, with total employment in India increasing from 459 million in 2009-10 to 472.9 million in 2011-12. Thus, compared to the increase of just 1.1 million over a five-year period (2004-05 to 2011-12), employment rose, in net terms, by almost 13 million in just two years.<br />
<br />
Therefore, looking at aggregate figures for India is misleading, especially because data has been infrequent.<br />
<br />
<em>* On job trends<br />
</em><br />
One positive trend is the falling share of unorganised sector workers, from 86.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 82.2 per cent in 2011-12. It shows the ave&shy;rage Indian enterprise is getting bigger. Another pos&shy;itive trend is the rising share of regular-wage/salaried workers in the labour market, now accounting for 17.9 per cent of it.<br />
<br />
One disconcerting trend is the rise in the share of informal workers in the org&shy;anised sector because of a greater use of contract and other forms of casual labour.<br />
<br />
<em>* On contract labour<br />
</em><br />
The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&rsquo; skills.

<em>* On contract labour<br />

The wage disparities faced by contract workers is well-known and has been a source of industrial unrest. For emp&shy;loyers, excessive reliance on contract labour poses major challenges in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency in production, which requires a stable workforce and investment in workers&rsquo; skills.
