Trends of Contract Labour System in India : Continuity and Change

Authors(1) :-Saurabh Kumar

Labour plays an essential role in the sphere of employment. In the present Scenario, a nonstandard form of employment, contract labour, is overgrowing in the field of public and private sectors. Liberalization, privatization, and globalization (LPG) of the Indian economy have expanded the contract labour system. However, contract workers are in a marginal position to negotiate terms and conditions with employers. Labour regulations in India apply differently for both regular and contract workers. This paper aims to understand the growth of contract workers and the regulations related to the contract labour system. The paper is based on secondary data resources. It is observed from secondary data analysis that the growth of contract labour is in every employment category in India. However, there is find lacuna in implementing the Contract Labour Act.
