Out of the Shadows?

The Informal Sector in Post-Reform India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Indian manufacturing sector has undergone comprehensive reforms since 1991. In spite of rapid rates of economic growth since the reforms, the informal sector has been a persistent phenomenon in India, leading to significant policy concerns on the lack of inclusivity of economic growth. This book assesses how informal manufacturing firms have responded to the context of economic liberalization in India, and provides policy recommendations on how to make India's economic growth more inclusive of the informal sector.
