This paper explores the major determinants of wages in India, drawing cues from National Sample Survey 66th round unit level data. To assess the major factors that impact wages, the authors take into account, in addition to the conventional independent variables that cover household, personal, and labour market characteristics, the general well-being of population, which, in practice, is encapsulated by a composite measure called Human Development Index (HDI). The analysis is limited to those who receive wages on a regular basis and who fall in the age group of 15-59. The empirical results show that wages in India are bound up with not only economic factors, but also identities such as sex and caste.

Based on primary data collected from 102 firms, located in three metropolises- Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad- and heterogeneous in economic activities, size and year of existence, the authors explore the phenomenon of skill shortage among Management Graduates who are employed in managerial occupation. They describe determinants of skill shortages in these firms. They elucidate that job vacancies that are hard to fill subsume in vacancies having skill shortage that is the subset of general pool of vacancies. The paper shows that a vacancy falling within skill shortage category is sensitive to the nature of vacancy, wage, year of existence and location.Keywords

In contrast to the vast literature on unemployment, not much is known about vacancies in developing economies such as India. We observe discernible interfirm differences in the firm recruitment behavior. We explore the determinants of vacancy in Indian firms among management graduates. Using uni-variate and bi-variate patterns, we fit a model that posits vacancy as a function of year of existence, per cent of management graduates, organization type, skill gap and off the job training. Using a probit model, we estimate chances of vacancies as a function of years of existence, percentage of management graduates, organization type, skill-gap and off the job training.- Employment in Organized & Unorganized Retail

This article examines employment and workers' satisfaction among those employed in organized and unorganized retail enterprises in Mumbai. Drawing cues from primary data, the article presents personal and household characteristics and features of labor market in organized and unorganized retail sectors. It illustrates that workers in organized retail are satisfied with the physical conditions of work while dissatisfied with the social aspects. This is the reverse for workers in unorganized retail. On relationship with employers/ supervisors, workers in organized sector appear far more satisfied than those in unorganized who showed moderate degree of satisfaction. Majority of workers in organized retail report are satisfied in training and development opportunities while those in unorganized are not.- Key Indicators of Labor Market Flexibility & Skill Shortages

The paper examines skill shortage among management graduates in India and explores the specific labor market dynamics that underlines skill shortage in Indian firms. The paper critiques the neoclassical perspective which dominates current discourses on skill shortage in the firm. A structured schedule is used to interview key decision makers from 102 firms, drawn from three Indian metropolises: Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Firms need to adapt to the constraints of skill shortage by hiring management graduates who can be trained in employable skills requiring firm to invest more on human capital formation. The study unraveled strategic implications that emanate from three diverse contexts: vacancies, skill shortage vacancies and hard to fill vacancies.- Working & Living Conditions of Women Domestic Workers:Insights From a Survey

Exploring primary data collected from 1510 women domestic workers in Mumbai, this study evidently brings out domestic work as a feminine occupation in a global city like Mumbai. The occupation is an epitome of critical deficits in human development. Based on the findings, the authors argue why it is essential to create a comprehensive social security system for domestic workers in India against the backdrop of working and living conditions of labor belonging to this occupational category. The study covers themes such as work profile of the domestic workers, access to social security, health, habitat and domestic violence.References
