There is declining influence of trade unions in ensuring better job security and social security for their members. But the presence of a union in an enterprise came to be more important over 2004-2005 to 2011-2012 as the situation became worse for workers in enterprises without it. These changes are stronger in public/private limited companies compared with other enterprises. The situation is worse for pink-collar and blue-collar workers as for them these changes are manifested through deterioration in situation of union members and workers in enterprises without union unlike the case of whitecollar workers where the changes took place through improvement of nonunion members.Keywords
Trade Unions Influence, Job Security, Social Security, Enterprise-Type, Occupation-Type.

The paper looks into the trends of how labour market returns differ among the different social categories in the manufacturing sector in India over 2004- 2005 to 2011-2012. It find that despite a decline in the gap in shares of employment between forward caste and backward caste workers, the wage gap between them didn’t come down because of a rise in intra-occupational wage gap in the high-wage, high-skill occupations. The actual wage gaps between them are often an underestimation of the extent of deprivation. Among backward caste workers, scheduled caste workers are worse off than other backward caste workers. The labour market is more discriminatory against the former in urban areas compared with rural areas in the formal sector vis-à-vis the informal sector, and in public/private limited enterprises as against other enterprises.References

This study finds out the importance of socio-economic, demographic and health-care-related factors in determining catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) of a household and how they influence its health care expenditure. Rising out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses for health financing in developing countries with different methodologies to assess the associated factors with CHE has been documented. This study contributes to the existing literature from the methodological viewpoint. In the two-step approach, at the first step, the probability of a household incurring CHE has been estimated and in the second the importance of the determinants of health expenditure is examined. An analysis is done to find out whether the situation varies across the quintiles. The database is the 71st round of social consumption of health survey conducted by the NSSO during January-June 2014. Health expenditure in household budgets is the highest among the poorest quintile. Treating a non-communicable disease and opting for private facilities are expensive. Relaxing the budget constraint by financing the healthcare from sources like contributions from friends/relatives and sale of assets lead to high spending on healthcare. The study recommends health expenditure protection schemes for the vulnerable groups, etc.References
