Economist Paul Krugman warns India of mass unemployment if manufacturing sector does not grow

The Nobel laureate noted that the country does not yet have the jobs essential to sustain the projected growth in demography.

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman on Saturday warned that India may end up with mass unemployment if its manufacturing sector does not grow, News18 reported. The American economist was speaking at an event that the news channel had organised.

“As the world’s economies took off because of growth in the manufacturing sector, India stood apart and unique,” Krugman noted. “It exported services, which was unprecedented.” The economist observed that India’s demographic dividend puts it at an advantage.

“India’s lack in the manufacturing sector could work against it, as it does not have the jobs essential to sustain the projected growth in demography,” Krugman said. “You have to find jobs for people.”

The economist cited the examples of Japan and China to emphasise his point. “Japan is no longer a superpower because its working-age population declined, and China is looking the same. In Asia, India could take the lead but only if it also develops its manufacturing sector, not only the services one.”

India has achieved much more economic growth in 30 years than what Britain had achieved in 150 years, Krugman said, adding that a high level of income inequality has cancelled out the advantage of such growth.
