उत्तर
Yes, Inclia noted a widening disparity between GDP growth and employment generation in the late 1990s.
Reasons:
- India suffered jobless growth, that is, economic expansion without significant job creation.
- India implemented economic reforms, one of which was globalization.
- MNCs were mostly responsible for growth. Instead of employing people, these businesses made use of cutting-edge technology. It resulted in the economy experiencing jobless growth.
