Abstract

ABSTRACT The developing part of the world has a common history of colonialisation. Soon after attaining independence from the colonisers, these nations endeavoured upon the process of development via industrialisation. India began its journey to sovereignty and development in 1947. The planned process of development in India has had a mixed economy model. Given the youth bulge accruing to the Indian economy there currently is surplus labour. However some recent studies try to portray Indian industrialisation as capital intensive. As such, the current study is an attempt to re-validate the labour intensive nature of Indian industrialisation. The study advances to explore the nature and role of various types of labour in the industrialisation process of India and its contribution towards the technical efficiency of the secondary sector. Based on the empirical investigation, the study presents various policy suggestions in order to convert the youth bulge of India into productive and efficient human capital and to industrialise the economy in a sustainable manner.

印度青年膨胀与劳动密集型工业化(基于正规工业部门的分析)

世界上发展中国家都有共同的殖民历史。这些国家从殖民者手中获得独立后不久，就通过工业化努力发展。1947年，印度开始了主权和发展之旅。印度的计划发展过程是一种混合经济模式。考虑到印度经济的年轻人膨胀，目前存在劳动力过剩的问题。然而，最近的一些研究试图将印度的工业化描述为资本密集型。因此，当前的研究试图重新验证印度工业化的劳动密集型性质。本研究进一步探讨了印度工业化过程中各类劳动力的性质和作用，以及其对第二产业技术效率的贡献。在实证调查的基础上，本研究提出了各种政策建议，以将印度的青年膨胀转化为生产性和高效的人力资本，并以可持续的方式实现经济工业化。
