Economic Reforms and Unemployment in NER of India

The proposed study seeks to understand the quality of India's North Eastern Region’s negotiation with economic reforms, particularly the impact of economic reforms on employment and unemployment in the region. The future of economic reforms in India in general and North East India, in particular, depends on their impact on employment and unemployment as economic growth with low-paid jobs or fewer job opportunities implies exclusive growth. The sustainability of such type of growth is being questioned today. The issue of more and more inclusive growth is being proposed to the people. Using both off-field and on-field data, the present volume presents a case study of two states of India's North East i.e., Manipur and Tripura. The writers also acknowledge ICSSR, New Delhi for the financial assistance of the project undertaken and on which the present book is based.
