A Study on Protection and Prevention of Labour Laws in India: Judicial Trends | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

As of now, Indian labour law reform is a hot-button issue in the country. We're all aware that labour regulations in India now impose rigidity on the country's economy, which has an adverse effect on our progress. Despite the fact that Indian labour rules are extensive, complicated and often confusing, they encourage litigation rather than resolving industrial relations difficulties. A number of unions have protested against proposed changes to labour and industrial regulations, claiming that they were developed without their input and that the changes favor companies over workers. The government argues the changes are necessary for the growth of our country. As a result, this study looks at the sluggish pace of changes in India's workforce and their impact on the economy as a whole. Policy gridlock on labour reforms has prevented the nation from reaping demographic benefits. In terms of luring international investors or enticing local businesses to build industrial facilities, irregular changes in labour rules have been mostly ineffective. The paper covers the current government's efforts to implement labour reforms in India, as well as the need for such changes in the country.
