India's Good Jobs Narrative Questioned By Data

Times of India · business

Economic pundits in India largely agree that the country is not creating enough "good jobs." However, this consensus is challenged by various data sources. Historically, India has never had an abundance of formal sector positions, with a small elite traditionally holding better-paid roles. Approximately 90% of the workforce lacks formal sector employment, meaning no job security, paid leave, health insurance, or social security benefits.
