Globalization Its Impact On Labour in India

The document discusses the impact of globalization on labor in India. Globalization has resulted in a global division of labor and changes to labor market structures. It has led to internationalization of production chains through practices like outsourcing and subcontracting. This has impacted trade union organizations and collective bargaining. While globalization is meant to promote sustained economic growth, it has also been associated with a declining trade union density in India and greater employer militancy. The document examines various impacts on the industrial relations sector and outlines some policy responses around labor law reforms, organizing informal workers, and employment guarantee programs.
