A Note on Labour Flexibility Debate in India

A Note on Labour Flexibility Debate in India BADRI NARAYANAN G There is a great deal of debate on labour flexibility and labour reforms in India. Most of the arguments in the debate are well known and Shyam Sundar (EPW, May 28, 2005) gives an excellent review of them. The objective of this note is not to review the various arguments once more or update the literature review but to explain a few major points that have not been considered explicitly in the article and in many other papers addressing the issue of labour reforms.
