intensity at aggregate as
well as industry levels using Annual
Survey of Industry data at

the trend breaks in major economic
events/shocks in Indian

improvement in the employment
elasticity of organized manufacturing
sector over the period of
time. Within the broad industrial
groups, the gap between employment
