To do so, it considers a wide spectrum of variables including physical, financial and social infrastructure specific indicators and government spending in certain key areas. In addition to the aggregate employment, the book also comprises analysis of different sectors, regions and gender categories. Based on the results, it identifies crucial determinants which bear important policy implications. The book presents evidence showcasing how the overall investment climate and an effective state, as envisaged in terms of increased social expenditure, are instrumental to improvements in employment elasticity. The findings also reinforce the role of industry-led growth and agglomeration economies in contributing to employment growth. Besides, based on the unit-level data from the periodic labour force surveys, the book tries to answer a wide range of questions such as, what restricts a person from getting absorbed in a high productivity activity; within a given sector why one is in a casual or self-employed job and not in regular wage job; are casual wage jobs in the informal sector different from those in the formal sector; and why the wage variations exist across sectors and activities. The three rounds of periodic labour force surveys reflect on certain individual and household characteristics; in particular, the role of education is seen to be crucial in determining the occupational choice and the wage rate. Finally, the book focuses on the enterprise-level data and identifies the types of units which are vulnerable within the unorganized sector. It assesses the links of the unorganized sector units with their organised sector counterpart and identifies the factors which reduce the economic viability of the units. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5512 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aIndustrial policy 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aLabor Economics 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aRegulation and Industrial Policy 606 $aMarket Structure and Economic Design 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aSocio-Economic Policy 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aIndustrial policy. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aRegulation and Industrial Policy. 615 24$aMarket Structure and Economic Design. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aSocio-Economic Policy. 676 $a331 700 $aMitra$b Arup$0861707 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736992703321 996 $aBarriers to Employment$93427772 997 $aUNINA
