ABSTRACT

The developing part of the world has a common history of colonialisation. Soon after attaining independence from the colonisers, these nations endeavoured upon the process of development via industrialisation. India began its journey to sovereignty and development in 1947. The planned process of development in India has had a mixed economy model. Given the youth bulge accruing to the Indian economy there currently is surplus labour. However some recent studies try to portray Indian industrialisation as capital intensive. As such, the current study is an attempt to re-validate the labour intensive nature of Indian industrialisation. The study advances to explore the nature and role of various types of labour in the industrialisation process of India and its contribution towards the technical efficiency of the secondary sector. Based on the empirical investigation, the study presents various policy suggestions in order to convert the youth bulge of India into productive and efficient human capital and to industrialise the economy in a sustainable manner.

摘要

世界的发展中地区有着共同的殖民历史。在从殖民者手中获得独立后不久，这些国家通过工业化努力发展。印度于 1947 年开始了其主权和发展之旅。印度的计划发展过程具有混合经济模式。鉴于印度经济的青年膨胀，目前存在过剩劳动力。然而，最近的一些研究试图将印度工业化描述为资本密集型。因此，目前的研究试图重新验证印度工业化的劳动密集型性质。该研究旨在探讨印度工业化进程中各类劳动力的性质和作用及其对第二产业技术效率的贡献。
