Segment ation drives the division of the labour market into separate submarkets, di stinguished by different characteristics and behavioural rules. Segmentatio n arises from particularities of labour market institutions, such as govern ing contractual arrangements (segmentation along permanent/temporary nature of employment contracts), from lack of enforcement (segmentation along for mal/informal (unorganised) line) types of workers concerned (such as migran t and non-migrant workers), gendered division of work (Paid and unpaid work ) and social identity which divides the workforce between those engaged in the Dirt Work and Non-Dirt Work. As argued by Kalleberge (2010) when the ec onomy goes through a rapid transition and the state-business relationship g et altered, existing social institutions and norms reproduces the social di vision of labour based on the aforesaid markers which is less desirable and promote lack of social cohesion within the society. With further changes i n the state-business relationship, the task of promoting Decent Work and Di gnified Working Life, becomes complex and inextricable to account for rapid changes in the technology, reinforcement of social institutions and lack o f coverage of legal institutions. As a result, the economy witnesses a shar p increase in the precarious workforce which are uncertain, unstable and mo stly vulnerable. This workforce internalizes work-related risks and works a t the margin of precarity. Given this context, this seminar will provide a macro picture of the state of working in India. Using the theoretical insig hts from Labour Market Segmentation and Institutional Economy, we will exam ine the trends, determinants and structure of various forms of segmentation in the organized and unorganised sector in India. Robust empirical analysi s will be carried out using various rounds of EUS, IHDS and NFHS surveys of India.  Results drawn from this seminar will be used to examine the potent ial challenges for the Future of Work in India.\nBio-sketch of the SpeakerD r.

One of the key labour market developments observed throughout the world in recent years is the phenomenon of labour market segmentation which incre ases the complexity and narratives on the discourse on Future of Work. Segm entation drives the division of the labour market into separate submarkets, distinguished by different characteristics and behavioural rules. Segmenta tion arises from particularities of labour market institutions, such as gov erning contractual arrangements (segmentation along permanent/temporary nat ure of employment contracts), from lack of enforcement (segmentation along formal/informal (unorganised) line) types of workers concerned (such as mig rant and non-migrant workers), gendered division of work (Paid and unpaid w ork) and social identity which divides the workforce between those engaged in the Dirt Work and Non-Dirt Work. As argued by Kalleberge (2010) when the economy goes through a rapid transition and the state-business relationshi p get altered, existing social institutions and norms reproduces the social division of labour based on the aforesaid markers which is less desirable and promote lack of social cohesion within the society. With further change s in the state-business relationship, the task of promoting Decent Work and Dignified Working Life, becomes complex and inextricable to account for ra pid changes in the technology, reinforcement of social institutions and lac k of coverage of legal institutions. As a result, the economy witnesses a s harp increase in the precarious workforce which are uncertain, unstable and mostly vulnerable. This workforce internalizes work-related risks and work s at the margin of precarity. Given this context, this seminar will provide a macro picture of the state of working in India. Using the theoretical in sights from Labour Market Segmentation and Institutional Economy, we will e xamine the trends, determinants and structure of various forms of segmentat ion in the organized and unorganised sector in India.
