Conclusion • Only one time period results available at present from the NSSO. Issues with the base year (99-00). • Variance with alternative estimates. Both size and growth of employment in Organised Sector is larger. • While under coverage may be one issue, more significant issue related to informal workforce. • Growth in informal workforce, including sizeable numbers of regular workers – low paid & without protection – but a pointer to changing functional and skill requirements. • Institutional and labour rigidities have not deterred the OS from increasing employment of flexible labour. • Along with the Unorganised Sector issues, quality of employment and lack of employment and social protection emerging as a significant issue.
