This book examines the structural changes in the labour market in
North-East India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and
agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and
structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents
emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm
dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in
employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and
social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of
casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors. Through
large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in
plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the
manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and
employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and
spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with
rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing
interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East
India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the
labour market in the region. The volume will be useful to scholars
and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies,
labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well
to those involved with governance and policymaking.
