Such a call by the ILO is urgent in the context of countries such as India, where approximately 92 per cent of the workers are engaged in informal economic activities, and where expansion of informal economic activities is coupled with deteriorating working conditions and living standards of informal workersThis book considers whether a human development-inspired legislative framework might be able to promote overall development of a specific category of informal workers in India. Drawing upon Amartya Sens capability approach to human development it proposes a framework of labour law based on the capability approach, which could address the concerns of informal workers. The viability of the proposed labour law framework in the context of the specific informal economic activity of waste-picking in India is examined. While examining the viability of a human development based labour law in an Indian context, the also suggests how some of the proposals put forth in the book could also be relevant for informal workers in other developing countries".. |
