Volume : I, Issue : V, June - 2011 INDIAN LABOUR FORCE Sonali Mukherjee DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : India is a vast country. The population of India is now 1.22 billion while during 1947 it was only near about 356 million. The population increased so rapidly but the creation of employment opportunity did not keep pace with it. Moreover the language, the way of living all differ from region to region. So the problem of unemployment also varies. For this reason the eleventh five year plan tried to focus on quality of employment. India has also various rigid labour laws compared to China (with most labour force) and United States of India (one of the most developed countries) countries.

- Labour laws are rigid but checking process is not so rigid. So somewhere we find the employers are so much afraid of such laws that they think a thousand times before employing a labour e.g. before employing a female labour he has to think that he has to give the employee the maternity benefit which he has not to pay if he employs a male labour in her place. Somewhere we find the child labour even in the broad daylight (40% in unorganized labour market and 60% in unorganized agricultural sector) though there is Child Labour (Prohibition and Abolition) Act-1986. So instead of making the law so rigid the checking process should be rigid.
