Abstract

Labour market responses to past business downturns across countries have been ambiguous and paradoxical, including both pro- and counter-cyclical reactions. In the absence of adequate social safety nets, including unemployment insurance, counter-cyclical employment rates could signal distress rather than productive employment opportunities. Juxtaposing household employment- unemployment data with the recommendations of the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians on labour underutilization, this article critiques existing data on underemployment in India and calls for the review of data collection methods to better inform labour market policies.

工作，却不工作：评估印度劳动力利用不足的情况

各国劳动力市场对过去商业衰退的反应模棱两可、自相矛盾，既有顺周期反应，也有反周期反应。在缺乏充分的社会安全网（包括失业保险）的情况下，反周期就业率可能预示着困境，而不是生产性就业机会。本文将家庭就业-失业数据与第十九届国际劳工统计学家会议关于劳动力利用不足的建议并列，对印度就业不足的现有数据进行了批评，并呼吁对数据收集方法进行审查，以便更好地为劳动力市场政策提供信息。
