Abstract
This study attempts to understand
the dynamics of the sluggish
growth of Indian organized
manufacturing sector and employment
intensity at aggregate as
well as industry levels using Annual
Survey of Industry data at
3-digit level. Time period considered
is from 1981 to 2014 with
the trend breaks in major economic
events/shocks in Indian
economy. The study shows a small
improvement in the employment
elasticity of organized manufacturing
sector over the period of
time. Within the broad industrial
groups, the gap between employment
and gross value added of
medium low-tech industrial group
has come down rapidly over the
period. Similarly, low-tech group
has also shown a slight improvement
in the employment elasticity
over the period.
