The textile industry is one of the oldest in the country, going
back several centuries. The industry experienced recession from the
mid-1960s to the 1980s. However, this trend is reversed after the
early 1990s when domestic demand for textiles products as well as
exports increased substantially. What factors have contributed to
the growth of the industry? What kind of changes have occurred in
the structure of exports of the industry and what are their
implications? Has the growth of this labour-intensive industry
generated adequate employment? This book addresses such debates and
examines the process of growth of India's textile industry,
focusing on its performance on the employment front since the
1980s. Using macro-level data, the book analyses determinants of
domestic demand and challenges the general perception that the
growth of the industry was primarily driven by an expansion in
exports of textile products. It argues that structural changes such
as inter-fibre and inter-sectoral shifts and capacity expansion
involving modernization have contributed to decline in quantity as
well as quality of employment generated by the industry.
