Abstract

India possesses the world’s second-largest working-age population, making its labor force a critical driver of the nation’s economic activities—ranging from investment and production to savings and capital formation. Workers are key contributors to achieving socio-economic development. However, modern industrial practices, often marked by strained employer-employee relations, have led to numerous labor-related issues. To address these, the Indian government has enacted various labor laws aimed at safeguarding worker rights and preventing exploitation. Despite these efforts, gaps remain in the implementation and enforcement of these laws. This paper explores the challenges faced by labor law in India and offers actionable solutions for improvement.
