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.References

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

We explore emerging contexts of social entrepreneurship in India. Social entrepreneurship is emerging as an important option in poverty reduction and social change wherein organising societal responses to scenarios like entrenched deprivation, cumulative disadvantages, long extant institutional lock-in, and vulnerabilities enmeshed in social stratification, hiatus emanating from segmentation of labour market and inadequate coverage of social protection form the core of strategies/collectives/organisation. In this paper, first, drawing cues from the literature, we outline basic typology of social entrepreneurship while delineating pivotal role technology and collaboration play in social entrepreneurship. Second, we provide a glimpse of not profit organisations in India, based on the secondary data. We juxtapose select patterns from the data on non profit organisations with human development. Third, we discuss select cases of social entrepreneurship that diverge in characteristics and contexts, in particular how these initiatives work towards poverty reduction and social development.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

Although the ‘Kerala Model’ is often viewed as a rare combination of higherorder human development and not so discernible patterns of consistent exponential economic growth, it appears that in recent times the health system in Kerala has been facing the emerging crisis in public health. This paper assesses the determinants of morbidity and hospitalisation here using NSSO 71st round data. While we compare the results with the extant literature, drawing cues from the results, we explore public policy options that are appropriate to the context of Kerala. Moreover, the paper also examines the disease profile of hospitalized households.References
