Public–Private Wage Gap in the Indian Mining and Quarrying Industry Margin: The Journal of Applied Economic Research Pub Date : 2019-03-25 Chandan Kumar Mohanty, Smrutirekha Mohanty
This article examines if there is a wage gap between public and private mining (and quarrying) workers in India, using the NSS data (2004–2005, 2009–2010 and 2011–2012).
