State regulation characterized management of both product market and the industrial relations system (IRS) in the post-Independent India. The logic of industrial peace determined the institutional framework of the IRS in the era of regulation. Over the years, the failures of "state regulation model" concerning both the product market in the industrial sector and the IRS were pointed out and there have been calls for liberalizing both. The process of economic liberalization began since the mid- 1980s and accelerated since 1991. Meanwhile, some important developments were taking place in the industrial relations system as well. The State, the employers and the trade unions responded to these forces in different ways. These taken together affected the employment relations in significant ways. The paper seeks to identify these important changes in employment relations in the post-reform period.

Labor Statistics in India is largely derived from the administration of labor laws and in some cases even its conceptual basis has been derived from the labor law concerned. The labor statistics is collected by two primary agencies, viz. the Labor Bureau and the Central Statistical Organization (CSO). The statistical system was designed during the command economy and contextualized in a not so-well developed non-agricultural sectoral economy. The structural changes in the economy and labor market and the significant changes concerning the economic and labor market policies in the post-globalization period have impacted significantly the labor statistics. As a result of these and other factors serious gaps exist in the labor statistics.- Institutional Framework of Industrial Relations in India:Still & Muddy Waters

The reforms of the industrial relations system and the labor market are being debated in the postreform period vigorously as if they are "new agenda" for the state to carry out. This article seeks to view the whole issue of labor law reforms in an historical perspective. It shows that the state has always skirted the core issues of reforms and left them to the employers and the trade unions to resolve their differences. The state was seeking to serve its political interests in the process which led to preservation of status quo. What is not appreciated is that this strategy has led to questionable and undesirable outcomes in the labor market and the industrial relations system.- Wage Disadvantage of Contract Workers in Indian Manufacturing Sector

The rising wage inequality between regular and contract workers in the manufacturing sector in India is posing serious challenges to the government’s reform agenda as it is externalizing the tremendous social and political costs for undertaking pro-market reforms. This paper seeks to analyze the trends in the wage inequality between regular and contract workers in the Indian manufacturing during 2000-2013.It was found that wage differentials are not only higher but widening over the years though slightly. Pro-worker regulatory climate in fact protects the interests of precarious workers like the contract workers. The government must focus on redesigning labor policies in conformity with ILO standards and decent work programs that will promote both efficiency and equity in labor market in India.References
