a report on labour force facing problems during lockdown
Answers
Answer:
“In a post lockdown world, there are going to be work deficit zones and work surplus regions. In the work surplus areas, the situation will be grim as there is going to be an abundance of returning workers with relatively higher skills, and thus the exploitation could commence,” Gayathri Vasudevan, Executive Chairperson and Co-Founder, LabourNet Services, told Financial Express Online.
Older problems such as forced labour and exploitation are likely to show cascading effects in the time to come as another concern is that more than 90 per cent of labourers in India are in the informal sector and are casually employed, being unprotected by any law. Arising as a threat from the same situation, the burden of forced labour may get further heavier and the workers may have to work overtime for which there is hardly any perk.“Things are going to get worse after the lockdown is lifted. As the people are already desperate to get wages, work, or means of livelihood, chances of exploitation increase,” Trinanjan Radhakrishnan, project coordinator, Oxfam India, told Financial Express Online. Even earlier, the workers were working for 12 hours instead of 8, now they will be working for 16-18 hours, that too, under adverse circumstances, he added.
While organisations working with labourers and workers raise concerns about the possibility of exploitation after the lockdown, the industry, on the other hand, says this is very unlikely if the rule book is followed. “With the calibrated restart of production across geographies based on zoning basis, the green zone being the first to start off, demand for labor will gradually return to almost normalcy and while it won’t be entirely normal, from the labor perspective, things will start moving,” Niranjan Hiranandani, President, Assocham, told Financial Express Online. The exploitation of labor is something that India Inc does not want and one hopes that the unorganised sector will also follow trends of the organised segment, he added.
