Question

Identify, which of the following, highlights a highly relevant issue associated with evolving employment trends in India’s labour market?

Options

• Progressive increase in the share of permanent salaried employees.

• Increase in the proportion of casually employed individuals.

• Expansion of self-employment avenues in all regions.

• Significant rise in job opportunities within the formal sector.

Answer 1

Increase in the proportion of casually employed individuals.

Explanation:

A major concern in India’s evolving labour market is casualisation/informalisation, a rising share of workers in casual, unstable, or informal jobs rather than secure, permanent salaried positions; formal‑sector job growth and uniformly expanding self‑employment have not kept pace.
