Author : L Vengada Krishna and Dr. MD Chinnu
Abstract :
This research investigates how labour laws influence industrial growth in India. Labour laws are designed to protect workers’ rights, promote fair working conditions, and maintain harmonious industrial relations. However, researchers have debated whether strict regulation encourages or impedes growth in manufacturing and employment sectors. While some studies show that rigid laws can limit labour flexibility and slow job creation, other research highlights how reforms and modern labour codes can promote inclusive employment and economic development. This paper reviews historical developments, current reforms, and empirical findings to understand the complex interaction between labour legislation and industrial expansion. The findings indicate that balanced labour laws that protect workers while enhancing flexibility contribute positively to industrial growth.
